[Verse]
           
If you need so

            
mebody, call m

                
y name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me
 
[Chorus] x2

If you love so

mebody

If you love so

meone 

If you love so

mebody 
          
If you love so

 
meone 
    
set them free
If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be

[Bridge]
            
You can't cont

             
rol an indepen

Can't tear the

             
 one you love 

                          
apart
           
Forever condit

              
ioned to belie

            
ve that we can

We can't live 

              
here and be ha

             
ppy with less
           
So many riches
