[Verse 1]
D5     A/C#             C#5
I must make a choice, a tough decision

D5     A/C#         C#5
Listen to my voice. Should I give in

D5     A/C#        C#5
To temptation, Admiration

D5        A/C#            C#5             B
One leads to myself. The other some one else

              D       E              F#
Just an empty shell. Just an empty shell
[Tag] F# E F# E [Verse 2]
     D5     A/C#            C#5
It's harder than it seems, when you're told that

D5       A/C#                 C#5
All your hopes and dreams are yours to hold if

D5       A/C#               C#5
You just give them what's expected

D5        A/C#           C#5          B
Something they can sell, put upon a shelf

                 D     E            F#m
But I am not for sale. I am not for sale
[Chorus]
F#m                  A                         E
    I here a voice inside. It's grown into a scream

                    C#m     D               F#m
I'm not the next of them. I am the first of me

                            A                        E
    'Cause I can't live the lie. I am just what you see

                    C#m     D
I'm not the next of them. I am the first of me
[Tag] F# E F# E [Verse 3]
D5   A/C#             C#5
If I can't refuse the price they offer

D5   A/C#             C#5
I am sure to lose and I will suffer

D5      A/C#           C#5
Sell my soul to make a profit

D5    A/C#          C#5                B
All I have to do is make believe it's true

                       D        E                 F#m
That something I can't do. That something I can't do
[Chorus]
F#m                  A                         E
    I here a voice inside. It's grown into a scream

                    C#m     D               F#m
I'm not the next of them. I am the first of me

                            A                       E
    'Cause I can't live the lie. I am just what you see

                    C#m     D
I'm not the next of them. I am the first of

F#m                       A                   E  C#m      D
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee   Ahh-oooooooooooooooo.  I am the first of

F#m                       A                   E  C#m      D               F#m
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee   Ahh-oooooooooooooooo.  I am the first of me

                          A                             E
    So when the waiting's gone. It's time to face the truth

                     C#m           D             F#m
You know you're good enough, deep down inside of you

                         A                     E
    You're finally woken up, if only just to prove

                         C#m       D               F#m
You are born to lead the way. Then be the first of you
