Intro: Gm C Eb D (2x)
verse 1:
Gm
I've got a stage and a mic
Cm
Which I used to say
Eb D
things you won't like
Gm
But I spent years
Cm Eb D
thinking I was alone
(Thinking I was alone)
Gm
Now I know now I know
that I'm not that I'm not
Cm
And I'm sharing that
Eb D
comfort with those
Gm
Who think that
Cm Eb D
hope is lost
Refrain:
Eb Bb
Oh and I'm so proud
of where I am
Eb
I'm learning where
to stand or to
Gm F
tread lightly so
Bb F/A
hold back
Gm
Steadfast you've
G/B
gotta breathe
Cm
And be content
just count to ten
F
Like all the experts
Bb F/A
say and if
Gm
The drugs don't
G/B
seem to work
Cm
Then they've got a
padded room for you
Ebm
To get your just deserve
Post Chorus: Gm C Eb D (2x)
verse 2:
Gm
If I could chose
my own name
Cm
I'd chose something
Eb D
that's bold and fits
Gm
Like anger aggression
or cunningly brash
Cm
By the skin of my teeth
Eb D
but with timing and class
Gm
Oh woe is me (Oh woe is me)
Cm Eb D
Oh woe were us (Oh woe were us)
Gm
But not anymore we stand
up for ourselves
Cm
We're like captains at war
Eb D
we'll get followed to hell
(Repeat Refrain)
