G5  B♭5 E♭5 B♭5 G5  B♭5 F5  x 4  <
 
G5  E♭5   B♭5                                    (embarque)
We  don't need
         F         (sus4)
Any more mountains
            E♭5            B♭5       F5      C5      E♭5
Because the trail builders failed to give us passage there
      B♭5             /F5
So we can't reach the sky

We don't need
Any more failure
There is human tragedy that's written everywhere
And we are all too young to die
  
        /G5   F5!       B♭5     E♭5   E♭5
  Like a mystery that's here to stay
  Some people never go away
                                 D5      d (r)
  Cause they've got something to say...
  
                  Gm                   D♭
    Don't sell me short             aa-aah
                        (don't sell me short)
                B♭        E♭
    You've been wrong too long
    Don't brush me off              aa-aah
                       (don't brush me off)
    Just because I don't belong

               Gm                  E♭
    Like it or not, I'm all you've got
       B♭      E♭       F
    Dispose me when I'm shot
                       Gm         E♭
    Just don't sell me short, oOooOh
            B♭     D       ( )
    I might not be who you thought
  
G5  B♭5 E♭5 B♭5 G5  B♭5 F5  x 2

We don't need
Any more fables
Because the writers have passed and left us lesson-less
Now we must find our own way
  
We don't need
Any more privilege
There is vivid desperation that is powerless
That no surplus can repay

  Like the fix of rapture in a trance
  Oh the fates are sealed by circumstance
  So you've got to take a chance...
  
    Refrain/2

    Pass me on by, ignore my cry
    Forget me when I die
    Just don't sell me short, oOooOh
    Not while I'm still alive
  
G5  B♭5 E♭5 B♭5 G5  B♭5 F5  x 2  (semi-P.M.)
  
Everybody's talking about Heaven on Earth                  (semi)
I'm still trying to figure out just what I'm worth
I'm full of emotion and stuff you can't contain            (full)
And you just want to flush me down the drain

E♭5   F5                        ( )
      But you can't make me go away

G5  D♭5  B♭5  E♭5  x 2  w/ solo
