Reclaiming My Time

A
Blame it all on those times I said yes
A
And should have said no
A
Blame it all on those times I stayed late
A
And really wanted to go
E A
But now I’m taking back what it mine

A
Blame it all on those times I played small
A
So you could think I was less you were more
A
Now I’m up from the floor I’m back from the brink
E A
And I’m taking back what is mine

D A
I’m not wasting my time anymore
D A
Trying to be the thing you want me to be
D A
I’m standing up, I’m getting up, I’m walking
E A
Through that door and I’m reclaiming my time

A
Blame it all on those times I made nice just to not let show
A
Well it’s twice the crime to keep it inside
A
Keep it locked up under control
E
But now I’m taking back what is mine

A
Blame it all on those times bit my tongue
A
Didn’t speak my mind
A
Kept my head down mouth shut went along for the ride
E A
But now I’m taking back what is mine

D A
You can call me vinegar but I know I’m wine
D A
I’m dark, sophisticated, warm, deeply sublime
D A
I’m standing up, I’m getting up, I’m walking through that door
E A
And I’m reclaiming my time

A
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time

D A
I’m not wasting anymore on you
D A
Trying to be the thing you think I should be
D A
I’m standing up, I’m getting up, I’m walking through that door
E A
And I’m reclaiming my time
E A
I’m reclaiming my time
