All my [Bm]life,
I've been [G]fighting a [A]war
I can't [Bm]talk to [G]you or your [A]friends
It's not [Bm]only you,
My [G]heart jumps [A]around when I'm [Bm]alluded to
This will not [G] [A]do
Cause I was [Bm]raised up to [G]be [A]admired,
to be [Bm]noticed
But [G]when you're [A]withdrawn,
it's the [Bm]closest thing
to [G]assault when all [A]eyes are [Bm]on you
This will not [G]do [A]
[Bm] [Bm] [G] [A] [Bm] [Bm] [G] [A]
[Bm] [Bm] [G] [A] [Bm] [Bm] [G] [A]
I'm faking [Bm]glory
Lick my [G]lips toss my [A]hair
And send a [Bm]smile over
And the [G]story's brand [A]new
But I can [Bm]take it from here,
I'll [G]find my [A]own [Bm]bravado [G] [A]
[D]It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back
It's a moon [Em]eclipsed, oh
[Bm]And I can tell you that when
the lights come on I'll be ready [A]for this
[D]It's in your bloodstream
A collision of atoms that happens [Em]before your eyes
[Bm]It's a marathon run or a mountain
you scaled without [A]thinking of size
[D]I was frightened of every little thing
that I thought was [Em]out to [Bm]get me down
To trip me up, and laugh at [A]me,
But [D]I learned not to want the quiet of the room
with no one [Em]around to [Bm]find me out
I want the applause, the
approval, the things that make me go, oh
[D]It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back
It's a moon [Em]eclipsed, oh
[Bm]And I can tell you that when the
lights come on I'll be ready [A]for this
[D]It's in your bloodstream
A collision of atoms that happens [Em]before your eyes
[Bm]It's a marathon run or a mountain
you scaled without [A]thinking of size
[D]I was frightened of every little thing
that I thought was [Em]out to [Bm]get me down
To trip me up, and laugh at [A]me,
But [D]I learned not to want the quiet of the room
with no one [Em]around to [Bm]find me out
I want the applause, the
approval, the things that make me go, oh
