[Intro]
Em C G D B
[Strophe]
Em 
Clipped wings, I was a broken thing, 
      C 
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
    G                         D              B 
You wore me down. I struggled on the ground, woh!
[Strophe]
Em 
So lost, the line had been crossed
      C 
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk
    G                        D           B 
You held me down. I struggle to fly now, woh!
[Pont]
Em 
But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C 
Cause we hold on so tight, we cannot deny
     G                    D         B 
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh!
Em 
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
C 
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die
G                                    D    B 
No, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, yeah!

         Em 
I don’t care, I’ma sing off key

I found myself in my melodies
           G 
I sing for love, I sing for me
           D                         B 
I shout it out like a bird set free, No
        Em 
I don’t care, I’ma sing off key

Em 
Now I fly, hit the high notes, I
       C 
Have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight
    G                        D                 B 
You held me down. But I have fought back loud, Oh
