Intro: D
 
Verse 1:
D
Please give me a reason to believe all the lies
 
'Cause my teachers and the media are ghouls in disguise
A
Abusing their authority to proselytize
      G                                        D
But nothing they report to me could change my mind
 
I need a vacation from the way things have been
 
Because I'm growing impatient, yeah, it's boiling my skin
      A
Had enough manipulation, can you just let me live?
  G           D
Mmm, live my life
 
Chorus:
         Bm        A
I'm not gonna give in
      G        D              Bm         A       G
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
        D            Bm         A
Rather die than lay down on my back
    G         D       A
Got no white flag to throw
                    A
This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo
 
Verse 2:
D
Please give me a reason to give up on myself
 
You can tell me that it's treasonous to stand and rebel
          A
I won't pledge you my allegiance, I'll just bid you farewell
 G         D
Mmm, and goodbye
 
Chorus:
         Bm        A
I'm not gonna give in
      G        D               Bm        A       G
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
        D            Bm         A
Rather die than lay down on my back
    G         D        A
Got no white flag to throw
                    A
This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo
 
Bridge:
   D
I know that on the surface
    A
It might seem like I'm just fine
            Bm
But I can’t eat, I barely sleep
               A
Sometimes, I wanna run and hide
               G
Feel like I'm dying in this cage
             Gbm
My soul is trapped, I feel confined
            G
And I just wish they’d let me out
              A
So I could finally live my life
   D
I know that on the surface
    A
It might seem like I'm just fine
            Bm
But I can’t eat, I barely sleep
              A
Sometimes, I wanna run and hide
                G
Feel like I'm dying in this cage
             Gbm
My soul is trapped, I feel confined
            G
And I just wish they’d let me out
              A
So I could finally live my life
 
Chorus:
         Bm        A
I'm not gonna give in
      G       D                Bm        A       G
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
        D       Bm              A
Rather die than lay down on my back
    G                  A
Got no white flag to throw
          Bm       A
I'm not gonna give in
      G        D               Bm        A       G
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
        D            Bm         A
Rather die than lay down on my back
    G         D        A
Got no white flag to throw
                   A
This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo

Biography

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.
