Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Yeah, I've seen you face in magazines
[C]Yeah I've read all of those pre[D]ss
room queens de[G]scriptions
I can't believe the lies [D]they [G]tell
[C]But truth is not the[D] way
to sell [G]subscriptions

[Verse 2]
[C]After all the[D] smoke had cleared awa[G]y
[C]Did not take me lon[D]g to find
[G]out what you [D]had [Em]to say
[C]This is just a game
And I'm glad [Am]i finally learned to play
By the [D]rules
Do [C]they think [D]we're fools
They put you [G]down behind my back

[Verse 3]
[C]
Distorting all [D]the honest facts
about [G]you
While searching through your lyric sheets
[C]For secret meanings too[D]
discreet to doubt [G]you

[Verse 4]
[C]Isn't it a s[D]hame they never hea[G]rd
[C]They finally wrote [D]you off
as really [G]being too [Em]absurd
[C]While all the time you sacrificed
your rhymes
To find a word they could not [D]see
Hidden [C]in your [G]melod[D]ies

[Verse 5]
Like [C]a tree that [D]could bend with [G]the wind
Like a [C]river [D]that flows around [G]the bend
Like [C]a dream
Like [D]a song
They [G]all cross right [C]or wrong
They just [G]keep on building [D]castles in the
sand
[G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 6]
[G][C]
Then just [G]like you [D]they told [G]me lies
[C]And off[D]ered corporate alibis
to change [G]me
[D]My songs were taken
through the [G]mill
[C]While manager[D]s were
hired to rearrange [G]me

[Verse 7]
[C]They led me to [D]the slaughter like a lamb
[G]I j[C]ust kept pretendin[D]g
that I did [G]not give [Em]a damn
[C]Now this situations gotten
too [Am]far out of hand
To be [D]real
I don't [C]wanna make [D]a deal
Parasites reach for your [G]heart

[Verse 8]
[C]
Each one must try [D]do their part [G]to drain you
[D]You give them your best autogra[G]ph
[C]On pictures kno[D]wing well
they're gonna frame [G]you

[Verse 9]
[C]Don't you know it [D]happens every tim[G]e
[C]Little did they kno[D]w I could
[G]read between the [Em]line
[C]You told them times were changing
But they [Am]did not heed the signs
I'm [D]not that green
Bobby do you [C]know [D]what I mean

[Verse 10]
I'm Like [C]a tree that [D]can bend
with [G]the wind
I'm like a [C]river [D]that flows
around [G]the bend
I'm like [C]a dream
Like [D]a song
That [G]I've crossed right or wrong
[C]And I'll just keep on [G]building cas[D]tles
in the sand
[G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 11]
[G][C]
They drove [D]me [G]in their limousines
[C]My pockets bursting[D] at the
seems [G]with money
They said [D]i could take your place
[C]By putting makeup on my fac[D]e lik[G]e honey

[Verse 12]
[C]Now don't you know it
[D]chilled me to [G]the bone
[C]They even had[D] the nerve to ask me if
i could re- write like a rolling [Em]stone
[C]Thats when I told they the
should leave my ass alone
[D]It s plan to see
I just [C]wanted to [G]be free[D]

[Verse 13]
Like [C]a tree that [D]can bend with [G]the wind
Like a [C]river [D]that flows around [G]the bend
Like [C]a dream
Like [D]a song
That [G]I cross right or wrong
[C]And I'll just keep on [G]building cas[D]tles in
the sand
[G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 14]
[G][C]
And every song [D]i write my friend
I [C]play it with my band
