You don't control me
Dm C Am
Until you've walked a mile in my shoes

You don't know me
Gm C
And I know, I know, I know you don't like it
Am Bb
You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been
Dm C
It's my life so truth be told
Am Bb Dm C
(I see you thinking but there's just one thing, dear
Am Bb Dm C
