Em
Put me in a box and take it

Turn the key into the lock

Don't tell me
                             C
Don't tell me if I can't be who I am
         Am
I can't be who I am

Make me afraid to feel it
Don't tell me if I can't be who I am
Stomped out my faith, but I don't need it
Don't tell me if I can't be who I am
I can't be who I am
