Intro:

 A minorAm

Verse:

A minorAm
Why do you keep on staring
                C majorC
That mirror, mirror, it ain't fair at all
FF                              A minorAm
Dress sizes can't define, don't let the world decide what's beautiful
 G+G
No


Pre-Chorus:

     A minorAm
You won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules
 C majorC
History gets made when you're acting a fool
 FF
So don't hold it back and just run it, show what you got and just own it
A minorAm            G+G
No, they can't tear you apart


Chorus:

     C majorC           G+G
If you trust your rebel heart, ride it into battle
 A minorAm            FF
Don't be afraid, take the road less traveled
 C majorC            G+G
Wear out your boots and kick up the gravel
 A minorAm            FF         C majorC
Don't be afraid, take the road less traveled on

Don't follow anyone
             C majorC
March to the rhythm of a different drum
FF                        A minorAm
Why do we analyze, break out, and criticize the crazy ones
G+G
Oh


Pre-Chorus:

     A minorAm
You won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules
 C majorC
History gets made when you're acting a fool

Put your hands up, let me hear your voice tonight
