Chords

[Intro]
Gm         Am
When I was young

   Gm
If I just closed my eyes

             Am
Then I could go anywhere

Gm           Am
Dream of any place

Gm
Imagination set the pace

       Am
And my heart was happy there

A#m                      Fm
   What a shame that you came 'round and told me

A#m                          Fm
   Said my dreams can't come true

 Em                Am
"Don't be foolish, give up your wish"

 Em                    Am
"Big things aren't for you"

Am            Bm
And how you'd scold and chide me

Am      Bm
Forever criticize me

Am        Bm               F
But now I think I know the truth
[Verse 1]
G5           A5
You were the one

    G5
Who held me down and told me

      A5
I was heading nowhere

G5                  A5
You said "Know your place"

 G5
"Accept your fate and show good face"

        A5
"And be thankful that you're there"

A#5                  F5
   That was so long ago when you owned me

A#5                  F5
   I believed it was true

E5                 A5
Bend me, shape me, build me, break me

E5             A5
Why was I your fool?
[Pre-Chorus]
A5            B5
  And now I'm so much stronger

A5              B5
  I'm not yours any longer

A5           B5               A#5
  I've got a message here for you
[Chorus]
A5   B5  C5  D5 D#5
Time for you to learn

D5   A5 C5
It's my turn

C5                       E5
I won't be held down any longer

            C5                            E5
I've waited all my life, and finally it's here

   D5            C5
It all begins, a chance to win

  B5                  C5
A dream that's been a lifetime

   B5              A5
An endless, vast uphill climb

    B5              C5             F5   D5
The day I've waited for is drawing near
[Verse 2]
G5         A5
Hey, wait, turn and show your face

     G5
I've got a lot to say

               A5
And you're not going anywhere

G5            A5
You lose, the time you ruled me's through

    G5
I'm in control, I own my soul

         A5
And I'll never go back there

A#5                    F5
   Wasted years that I spent never knowing

A#5                  F5
   I was kept, I was used

E5            A5
Never-ending, condescending

E5           A5
Now I just refuse
[Pre-Chorus]
A5             B5
  I don't care what it costs me

A5         B5
  I know I almost lost me

A5             B5            A#5
  Won't spend another day confused
[Solo] A5 B5 C5 D5 D#5 D5 A5 C5 C5 E5 C5 E5 D5 C5 B5 C5 B5 A5 B5 C5 [Bridge]
 G5                   A5
(You rose) You rose, (I fell) I fell

G5      A5
Made my life hell

A#5            F5
Anything to crush my soul

A#5           F5
Anything to feel control

E5                 A5
Finally free, I've come so far (I've come so far)

E5              A5
Finally see how sick you are
[Pre-Chorus]
A5           B5
  I spent my life degraded

A5            B5
  But I won't leave here jaded

A5            B5               A#5
  I'll start again and finally prove
[Chorus]
A5   B5  C5  D5 D#5
Time for you to learn

D5   A5 C5
It's my turn

C5                       E5
I won't be held down any longer

            C5                            E5
I've waited all my life, and finally it's here

   D5            C5
It all begins, a chance to win

  B5                  C5
A dream that's been a lifetime

   B5              A5
An endless, vast uphill climb

    B5              C5             F5
The day I've waited for is drawing near
