                C 
You wanted a hit 
Am                  Em 
But maybe we don't do hits 
C 
I try and try 
Am                       Em 
It ends up feeling kind of wrong 

                C 
You wanted it tough 
Am                 Em 
But is it ever tough enough? 
                    C 
No, nothing's ever tough enough 
Am              Em 
Until we hit the road 

                   C 
Yeah, you wanted it lush 
Am                  Em 
But honestly, you must hush 
                      C 
No, honestly, you know too much 
Am                       Em 
So leave us, leave us on our own 

                   C 
And so you wanted a hit 
Am                  Em 
Well this is how we do hits 
             C 
You wanted a hit 
Am                  Em 
But that's not what we do 

             C 
You wanted it real 
Am                      Em 
But can you tell me what's real? 
C                         Am 
There's lights and sounds and stories 
                 Em 
Music's just a part 

                     C 
Yeah, you wanted the truth 
Am                    Em 
And then you said you want proof 
  C                    Am 
I guess you're used to liars 
                 Em 
Saying what they want 

    C                Am 
And we won't be your babies anymore 
Em 
We won't be your babies anymore 
 C                 Am                    Em 
We won't be your babies 'til you take us home 
    C                 Am 
No, we won't be your babies anymore 
Em 
We won't be your babies anymore 
C                     Am                   Em 
We can't be your babies 'til you take us home 

                    C 
Yeah you wanted it smart 
Am            Em 
But honestly, I'm not smart 
                          C 
No, honestly, we're never smart 
Am                           Em 
We fake it, fake it all the time 

                   C 
Yeah you wanted the time 
Am                Em 
But maybe I can't do time 
                          C 
Oh we both know that's an awful line 
 Am                   Em 
But it doesn't make it wrong 

               C 
You wanted it right 
Am                  Em 
No out of mind and out of sight 
                  C 
No dirty bus and early flight 
Am               Em 
No seven days and forty nights 
                   
                C 
Yeah you wanted a hit 
Am                      Em 
But tell me, where's the point in it? 
             C 
You wanted a hit 
Am                    Em 
But that's not what we do 

    C                Am 
And we won't be your babies anymore 
Em 
We won't be your babies anymore 
 C                 Am                    Em 
We won't be your babies 'til you take us home 
    C                 Am 
No, we won't be your babies anymore 
Em 
We won't be your babies anymore 
C                     Am                   Em 
We can't be your babies 'til you take us home 

    C                Am 
And we won't be your babies anymore 
Em 
We won't be your babies anymore 
 C                 Am                    Em 
We won't be your babies 'til you take us home

No, we won't be your babies anymore 
Em 
We won't be your babies anymore 
C                     Am                   Em 
We can't be your babies 'til you take us home
