F Em Dm7 Am7 Bb Am G  C C G G G

[Verse 1]
                      C    G
I'm not taken by your money
               C      G
Your fancy family tree
I don't care if you're a
C        Em
superstar
                    F  D/F#
Or whatever you may be
I'm not dazzled by the
 C        G
limelight
                C   G
Your tertiary degree
I just want to know the
C          Em
best of you
That's what matters to
D   G  Gsus  G
me....

[Chorus]
    D  G/B
Now I...  don't wanna
         C/E
hold you down
  D                   Em7
I won't stand in your way
   C               Em
Or keep you on the ground
    D  G/B
But if...  you want me
   Em
to stay
     Am7
Then treat me like the
 Em7            C
woman you keep sayin'
        Bm
that I am
Am7               D/G
 Show me that you are the

words you
 F  Em  Dm7  Am7 Bb  Am  G  C C G G G
say....

[Verse 2]
                        C     G
I don't want lots of attention
                  C       G
Never been the needy kind
                      C      Em
I'm not one to create tension
               F     D/F#
Not that way inclined
I just wanna know you're
 C            G
strong enough
                  C   G
To show me what's real

Had my share of silver
C     Em
linin'
                 D   G
It's wearing out thin

[Chorus]
    D  G/B
Now I...  don't wanna hold
     C/E
you down
  D                   Em7
I won't stand in your way
   C               Em
Or keep you on the ground
    D  G/B                Em
But if...  you want me to stay
     Am7               Em7
Then treat me like the woman
         C             Bm
you keep sayin' that I am
Am7               D/G
 Show me that you are the
          F  Em Dm7 Am7 Bb Am G
words you say....

I won't stand in your way
   C               Em
Or keep you on the ground
    D  G/B                Em
But if...  you want me to stay
     Am7               Em7
Then treat me like the woman
