Verse 1 (intro pattern plays underneath)
         E
I stand accused
           D              A            A/G      E
Just like you for being born without a silver spoon
E                     D
Stood at the top of a hill
        A     A/G   E
Over my town I was found


Chorus
     G           A        E
I've been on the shelf too long
G         A          E
Sitting at home on my bed too long
G      A          E
Got my things and now I'm gone
G         A           E
How's the world gonna take me?

Verse 2 (Intro pattern plays under)
Finding myself used to be hard
But now, I see the light
If love is a drug
Then I don't need it


Chorus
I've been on the shelf too long
Sitting at home on my bed too long
Now it's time to hear my song
How are you gonna take it?


Bridge
E
I've been on the shelf too long
E
I've been on the shelf too long
E
I've been on the shelf too long
E
C'mon C'mon C'mon
A                  A/G      E
We've got a lot of living to do
E                              D
There's a door in my mind that's open wide
A         A/G        E
Come inside come inside

E    D    A    A/G   E  (4x)


Verse 3 (intro pattern plays under)
Jesus never saved me
He'll never save you too, and you know!
I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot
This is music


Outro (same chords as verse, intro patter plays under)
And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes
If love is the drug then it ain't for me
Well music is my life
And loved by me
I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing
Down down down we go till we reach the bottom
Of our soul with this is music
