VERSE 2 plays same as 1

I tell 'em what I like
What I want
And what I don't
But every time I do I stand corrected
Things that I've been told
I can't believe what I hear 
about the world, I realize
I'm Overprotected 

There must be another way
Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God, I need some answers

(CHORUS)


I need time (love) I need space
(This is it, this is it) 

-6  -6   -6  -6 -6 -6  -6  -6  -6
I don't need no-bo-dy tell-in' me 

 -6   -6   -6    -5
just what I’m  gonna

 -6 -6  -6   -6   -6   -5   -6
What I what what what I'm gonna (I need)

-6 -6b -5 -5b -5b -5 -5 5  -5 -6b -6b
Do a-bout my  des-ti-ny I Say No, No

-6 -6  -6   -6  -6  -6  -6   -5  -5  -5
No-bo-dy's tell-in' me just what I wanna 

 -5 -5  -5 -5  -5   -5 -6b  -6b -5  -5 -5b -6
I'm so fed up with peo-ple tell-in' me to be

 -5  -6b  -6  -5  5
Some-one else but me 

(Action! )
