D  A    D      A        F#      E       F#      E 
Ugly.  Dangerous.  Piece of trash.

D  A    D      A         F#         E     F#      E 
Heinous. Monstrous. They narrate my past.

D                                  F#      E
They don’t even know me, yet they story my past.

D                                  F#       E
They don’t even know me, yet they story my past.

Story my past.  Story my past.  My past.
Faster TEMPO A D F# A [Verse 1]
        D
I’ve always felt like a stranger

        F#        E
Wherever   I     might roam

        D
People scowl and gaze at me

     F#             E
A freak, the great unknown.

          D                     E
They stare at me, like a catastrophe.

         D                 E
The living example of what not to be.

    D                   E
Afraid of my scars, my identity

 F#                     E
So I’m ostracized from society.
A D F# A [Chorus 1]
D
This is what people think of me.

F#
They believe what they want to believe

Bm
So spread your rumors and your terrible lies,

             G                A       D
But have you ever once looked into my eyes?!

A                    B  C#  D
If you did you’d see       someone with like you

           F#
with a beating heart, and a dream or two.

Bm
Filled with fear, hope and love

        G        A
And that should be   e-

  G              A
nough? Will it ever be   e-

  G              A
nough? Will I ever

G     A     D          F#   A   D
be    e-     nough?
[Verse 2]
             D
But the moment I walked into this town,

        F#        E
I no longer felt alone

D
Something seems so familiar

       F#                E
Like a place I may have known

     D                    E
The fog is clearing from inside my head,

       D           E
A sen-sation in my bones.

           D                    E
These streets are paved with memories,

     F#                 E
It strangely feels like home.
A D F# A [CHORUS PART 2]
       D
I’m through with what people think of me.

       F#
It’s time for me to believe in me.

       Bm
Put aside these rumors and stupid lies,

        G        A              D
It’s time to stand and rise!

  E F# G A B C D
               I’m just like you

           F#
with a beating heart, a dream or two.

Bm
Filled with fear, hope and love

       G    A   G           A       G            A
And I am worthy of, compassion and love,  I can  feel it in my

G               A        G             A          A
bones.  That I am not a-lone. and the stars will guide me,

G           A           D       F#
Stars will guide me home.      Home.
