DON'T PUT ME IN A BOX

Composed by Windy
Inspired from "Die Daily" by Father David

[Original version; see Heaven's Magic Songbook for revamped version,
titled "Don't Bind Me With Those Chains."]

Intro: (G)-(C)-(D)-(G)

Don't you (G)put me in a box,
Don't (C)tie me to the ground,
And don't you (G)put me in a house
With (D)flowers all a(D7)round,
And don't you (G)try to make of me
What you (C)think I ought to be.

Chorus One:
I'd rather (G)die (D)for (Em)something
Than (C)live for (D)nothing,
I'm going to (G)live (D)for (Em)love e(C)ter(D)nal(G)ly.

And don't you (G)pour me in a mold,
Don't (C)try to fence me in,
And don't you (G)give me all those clothes
I (D)know will never (D7)fit,
And I don't (G)want to hear those lies
That (C)complicate my life.

Chorus Two:
I'd rather (G)die (D)for (Em)something,
Than (C)live for (D)nothing
I'm going to (G)live (D)my (Em)life for (C)something (D)real.
I'd rather (G)die (D)for (Em)something,
Than (C)live for (D)nothing,
I'm going to (G)live (D)for (Em)love e(C)ter(D)nal(G)ly.

Why should I (C)throw my life a(D)way?
I want to (C)live to give a(D)way God's (G)Love.

(G)-(C)-(C)-(D)-(D7)-(G)-(C)-(G)-(D)-(G)

So don't you (G)put me in a box,
Don't (C)tie me to the ground,
And don't you (G)put me in a house
With (D)flowers all a(D7)round,
And don't you (G)try to make of me
What you (C)think I ought to be.

Chorus Three:
I'd rather (G)die (D)for (Em)something
Than (C)live for (D)nothing,
I'm going to (G)live (D)my (Em)life for (C)something (D)real.
I'd rather (G)die (D)for (Em)something
Than (C)live for (D)nothing,
I'm going to (G)live (D)for (Em)love, (C)lo(D)ve.
I'd rather (G)die (D)for (Em)something
Than (C)live for (D)nothing,
I'm going to (G)live (D)my (Em)life for (C)something (D)real.
I'd rather (G)die (D)for (Em)something
Than (C)live for (D)nothing,
I'm going to (G)live (D)for (Em)love e(C)ter(D)nal(G)ly.
