[Intro]
E G A E
[Verse 1]
E G
I stand accused just like you
A E
For being born without a silver spoon
E G
Stood at the top of a hill
A 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 in my bed too long
G A E
Got my things and now I'm gone
G A E
How's the world gonna from take me?
[Instrumental]
E G A E
E G A G E
[Verse 2]
E G
Finding myself used to be hard
A E
But now I see the light
E
If love is a drug
G A E
Then I don't need it
[Chorus]
G A E
I've been on the shelf too long
G A E
Sitting at home in my bed too long
G A E
Now it's time to hear my song
G A E
How you're going to take it?
[Instrumental]
E G A G E
E G A G E
[Chorus]
G A E
I've been on the shelf too long
G A E
Think the words without the song
G A E
Never had a way to go
G A E
Tell me now I'll take it
[Solo]

E G A E
Been on the shelf too long
[Verse 3]
E G
Come on come on come on come on
A E
We've got a lot of living to do
E G A
There's a door in my mind that's open wide
E G
Come inside come inside
A E
Come inside come inside
E G
Come inside come inside
A E
Come inside come inside
E G
Jesus never saved me
A E
He'll never save you too, and you know!
E G
I've got a little sticker on the back of my boot
A E
This is music
[Outro]
E G
And now I see the light shining bright in my eyes
A E
If love is the drug then it ain't for me
E
Well music is my life
G
And loved by me
A E
I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young thing
E G A
Down down down we go till we reach the bottom
E E
Of our soul with this is music
E
