"You Don't Own Me"
(John Madara and David White)
Intro:
Gm [2X]
/ / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
You don't own me I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me don't say I can't go with other boys
Chorus 1:
And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display [1: 'cause]
Verse 2:
You don't own me, don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me, don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay
Chorus 2:
Oh, I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
[key change to Ab]
Chorus 3:
I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please
[instrumental break over verse chords, in Abm:]

And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display [1: 'cause]

I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free [fade]
