               E 
      I've been thinking sitting on a pole.  
 
 
      I'm getting sick of doing what I'm told.  
 
   A 
      Just me and the mirror and my brain.  
 
            C                G 
      But that was when I got an idea.  
 
      Bb                      F 
      Came like a gun and shot in my ear.  
 
   G                                                A 
      Don't you think it's time you got up and stood alone?  
 
 
        
 
   E 
      Fifteen years I lay down on the ground.  
 
 
      I couldn't feel any noise or hear any sound.  
 
   A 
      Fifteen million years I spent down the line.  
 
 
            C                G 
      But that was when I got an idea.  
 
      Bb                      F 
      Came like a gun and shot in my ear.  
 
   G                                                A 
      Don't you think it's time you got up and stood alone?  
 
 
        
  
   G                  A 
      Get up and stand alone.  
 
 
      Aah...  
 
 
        
 
 
       C                 G 
      That was when I got an idea.  
 
      Bb                      F 
      Came like a gun and shot in my ear.  
 
   G                                                A 
      Don't you think it's time you got up and stood alone?  
 
 
        
 
   G                  A 
      Get up and stand alone.  
 
  E                  D/E 
     I got an idea...
