Intro: G C (x2)

Verse 1:
G                              C
I wanna scream, the top of my lungs
G                                C
Not sitting back, won't hold my tongue, no
Em                                  C
Some things are different than we thought
                                     Em
There's more to life than what we're taught
            G              C
I'm speaking up enough's enough

Pre-chorus:
D
Cause' I can't go on this way I
      Am
Gotta wake up and be brave
            C                               D
But I know I'll face the fire the fire if I say

            G    Am
I'm gonna stand strong

I'll be loud you'll hear me now
            G   Am
I'm gonna stand tall
 C
Take it to the top
         G          Am       C
I'll be free can't bring me down
        Em               D
So I'll rise won't turn back

G                             C
Done living life inside the lines
G                                C
Following the rules and playing nice yeah
Em                             C
I'm stepping up with all my strength
                            Em
Even if they think it's a mistake
              G                    C
Won't turn my back won't close my eyes

        D
On the edge I'll risk it all
                Am
It's worth the chance that I might fall

        Em               D

Em                D                         C
How can I just forget all the things in my head
        G                Am
(Just stand oh you just stand)
D                       C
And if I stand will I fall trying to knock down these walls
Am                                     E  (key change)
What if I don't know where I stand  (stand)
