Misc Cartoons – Rwby - This Life Is Mine (Guitar)

C#m             A#m7    Emmaj9       Dm    G#
Mirror, can you hear me? Do I, reach you?

C#m             A#m7     Em9         F#
Are you, even listening? Can I, get through?

          Bm                 F#m7         Em9      F#7
There’s a part of me that’s desperate for changes

Bm7            F#m7           Cmaj7
Tired of being treated like a pawn

              Bm7             Bm/A              G#m7b5     Gmaj9
But there’s a part of me that stares back, from inside the mirror

C#m7b5                              F#             A7      G#7
Part of me that’s scared I might be wrong, that I can’t be strong...

C#m                   A#m7            Emmaj9    Dm     G#
Ooh, ooooh, oooh oooh ooh oooooooooh, ooh ooh, oooooh, oooh

C#m         B           A              B
I’ve been afraid, never standing on my own

C#m              B            F#/A#  A
I let you be the keeper of my pride

C#m                   B             A#m7          A
Believed you when you told me I was nothing on my own

C#m/G#        G#     A7             G#7     D#m7b5                  G#7     C#m
Listen when I say, I swear it here today, I will not surrender this life is mine!

C#m                                                        A#m7
Amazing how you conquered me, chained me in servility, and made me see

    Emmaj9                                                          Dm              G#
The world the way you told me to, but I was young and didn’t have a way to know the truth

C#m                                                             A#m7
Born to live your legacy, existing just to fill your needs, a casualty

Em9                                                    F#
Of this so-called “family” that you have turned into a travesty

      Bm              F#m7       Em9     F#7
But I don’t intend to suffer any longer

Bm7               F#m7            Cmaj7
Here’s where your dominion falls apart

    Bm7            Bm/A         G#m7b5           Gmaj9
I’m shattering the mirror, that kept me split in pieces

     C#m7b5                       F#             A7         G#7
That stood between my mind and my heart, this is where I’ll start

C#m          B          A                B
I’m not your pet, not another thing you own

C#m            B              F#/A#   A
I was not born guilty of your crimes

     C#m            B               A#m7        A
Your riches and your influence can’t hold me anymore

C#/G#           G#             A7            G#7   D#m7b5                   G#7    N.C.
I won’t be possessed, burdened by your royal test, I will not surrender this life is mine!

C#m
(Guitar Solo)

C#m                           A#m7
Shame that it took so long to rescue me,

         Emmaj9                          D#m7b5  G#
from the guilt you used to tie me to your family tree

  C#m                                       A#m7
I guess your training failed, you’re not in charge, I’m free,

     Em9                           F#
your patriarchal prison won’t hold me

         Bm    F#m      Em      F#           Bm      F#m       C    N.C.
Now this conversation’s finally over, mirror mirror, now we’re done

     Bm        A     G#m7b5   G     C#m7b5             F#    N.C.
I’ve pulled myself together now, my mind and heart are one,

A7          G#
  finally one!

N.C.                     A               B   C#m            B              F#/A#   A
I’m not your pet, not another thing you own, I was not born guilty of your crimes

     C#m             B               A#m7      A
Your riches and your influence can’t hold me anymore

C#/G#          G#              A7            G#7
I won’t be possessed, burdened by your royal test

D#m7b5                   G#7     C#m7
I will not surrender this life is mine!
