               (let ring)
[Verse 1]
     D              Bb/D*
If I can't speak my truth

           E/D     Dsus2(b6)
For fear of being abused

           Eb/D      Bb/D
I might as well be a mute

   F/D         C/D
My voice never used

D         Bb/D*
I'll be maligned

        E/D          Dsus2(b6)
I'll be distant and trolled

     Eb/D      Bb/D
If I can't be aligned

        F/D          | C/D | % |
I'll be thrown in the cold
[Bridge]
  D                             D7
I don't think I've ever felt so out on the margin

        Gm                  Bbdim7
I'm too old to fight and we share these in blades

  Dm9                     Dm6
I feel like a leper, like handing my cards in

       Bb/D                    C/D
Like I don't have the right to join the parades
[Pre-Chorus]
    D5         F/C   F/C         G7/B
I'm rockin' in rage, forward and back

   D5          F/C         G7/B        A
My bones is engaged, they splinter and crack
| D5 F/C | F/C G7/B | D5 F/C | G7/B F/C |
     D5          F/C      F/C         G7/B
Deep fire in the clock is one last rampage

Drop all the lines, I'm rockin' in rage
[Chorus]

           A5                                  G   D
If you can ride it right here, you know how to die

           A5                               G   D
If you can conquer your fear, you'll get to fly

          Ooh, you'll get to fly
[Verse 2]
     D            Bb/D*
This must be your right

          E/D         Dsus2(b6)
To get it down on the page

    Eb/D          Bb/D
You know you must write

    F/D           C/D
You know you must rage

    D              Bb/D*
You might learn to fly

    E/D        Dsus2(b6)
Get out on the stage

        Eb/D          Bb/D
But you might as well lie

  F/D         | C/D | % |
Unless you can rage

I'm rockin' in rage, well past my prime

  D5        F/C      G7/B       A
Denying the curtain, waiting on time
| D5 F/C | F/C G7/B | D5 F/C | G7/B F/C |
   D5          F/C         F/C          G7/B
So this is the carver, the death before age

I thought I'd be calm, but I'm rockin' in rage
