[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

             F#m
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

             F#m
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
