Intro: Bm G Em Gb

Verse 1:
           Bm
I wore the smile they picked for me
          G
Hit every note and line so clean
       Em
Bit my tongue 'til it turned blue
          Gb
Played pretend like they told me to
            Bm
They want a solo, sweet and small
          G
But I was born to burn it all
        Em
Now I'm tearing up your script
                  Gb
Watch me flip the switch, click, click

Pre-chorus:
Em
Plug me in, I'm a live explosive
G
Broke the box and recomposed it
  Em
I don't perform, I detonate, I pulled the pin
                    Gb
Now, get out of the way

Chorus:
(nc)                      G
I play it loud, I play it raw
                          Em
I play it real, I play it flawed
                       Gb
Turned my cello into a flame
                                   Bm
This is my sound, and I play it my way
                                G
I bend the strings, I make them scream
                            Em
This time I play for bigger things
                            Gb
No bowing down, no sweet ballet
                                   Bm
This is my sound, and I play it my way

Post-chorus:
G Em    Gb
    Woah

Verse 2:
               Bm
They taught me quiet, taught me grace
         G
If I was hiding in their place
        Em
Held it in, then lit the fuse
            Gb
Now I'm the truth you can't unchoose

Pre-chorus:
Em
Plug me in, I'm a live explosive
G
Broke the box and recomposed it
  Em
I don't perform, I detonate, I pulled the pin
                    Gb
Now, get out of the way

Chorus:
(nc)                      G
I play it loud, I play it raw
                          Em
I play it real, I play it flawed
                       Gb
Turned my cello into a flame
                                   Bm
This is my sound, and I play it my way
                                G
I bend the strings, I make them scream
                            Em
This time I play for bigger things
                            Gb
No bowing down, no sweet ballet
                                   Bm
This is my sound, and I play it my way

Bridge:
                             G
I found my light, I found my voice
                            Em
No one else could make this noise
                          G
On tiptoe steps to find a rose
              Gb                  (nc)
The girl they knew just stole the show

Chorus:
(nc)                      G
I play it loud, I play it raw
                          Em
I play it real, I play it flawed
                       Gb
Turned my cello into a flame
                                   Bm
This is my sound, and I play it my way
                                G
I bend the strings, I make them scream
                            Em
This time I play for bigger things
                            Gb
No bowing down, no sweet ballet
                                   Bm
This is my sound, and I play it my way

Outro:
G Em
    Woah
G           Gb                      Bm
 This is my sound, and I play it my way
