(Capo 1st fret)
G+G C majorC
It's funny how they shoot you down
G+G C majorC
When your hands are held up high
G+G C majorC
And you open up your heart and soul
G+G C majorC
But that's not enough for most
E minorEm
I remember this much
D MajorD
There is nothing
D/C
You shouldn't speak of
D/B D/AD/A
If you've got something to say
D MajorD
And there's no one
D/C
To be scared of
D/B D/AD/A
Just get them out of the way
G+G C majorC D MajorD
GOING OUT IN A augmentedA BLAZE OF GLORY
G+G C majorC
My heart is open wide
G+G D*
You can take anything that you want from me
A minorAm D MajorD
there is nothing left to hide
G+G C majorC D MajorD
GOING OUT IN A augmentedA BLAZE OF GLORY
G+G C majorC
my hands are held up high
D* A minorAm
I'm learning how to hit back
D7D7 G+G C majorC
I'm learning how to fight
G+G C majorC (repeat)
G+G C majorC
The law of the jungle says
G+G C majorC
You look after yourself
G+G C majorC
But I remember this much
G+G C majorC
I love as I've been loved myself
D MajorD
Don't forget what I told you now
D/B D/C
When the question keeps on coming
D/AD/A
And it's How much more can you take
D MajorD D/B
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
D/C D/AD/A
Shouldn't you be gone by now
But you keep on
G+G C majorC D MajorD
GOING OUT IN A augmentedA BLAZE OF GLORY
G+G C majorC
Setting your sights for the sky
G+G D*
They can offer you anything at all
A minorAm D MajorD
But your dreams must not be sold
G+G C majorC D MajorD
GOING OUT IN A augmentedA BLAZE OF GLORY
G+G C majorC
No price is high enough
D* A minorAm
I'm fighting back with feeling
D7D7 G+G
I'm fighting back with love
B minorBm C majorC
When the nails are biting into your hands
B minorBm C majorC B minorBm
And the cross is heavy on your heart
C majorC D MajorD
Now is the time to really make a stand
MY HANDS ARE HELD UP HIGH
(instrumental)
G+G C majorC D MajorD
GOING OUT IN A augmentedA BLAZE OF GLORY
(repeat)
