Intro:
D MajorD


Verse 1:
D MajorD
Please give me a reason to believe all the lies

'Cause my teachers and the media are ghouls in disguise
A augmentedA
Abusing their authority to proselytize
   G+G                    D MajorD
But nothing they report to me could change my mind

I need a vacation from the way things have been

Because I'm growing impatient, yeah, it's boiling my skin
   A augmentedA
Had enough manipulation, can you just let me live?
 G+G      D MajorD
Mmm, live my life

Chorus:
     B minorBm    A augmentedA
I'm not gonna give in
   G+G    D MajorD       B minorBm     A augmentedA    G+G
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
    D MajorD      B minorBm     A augmentedA
Rather die than lay down on my back
  G+G         A augmentedA
Got no white flag to throw
          A augmentedA
This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo


Verse 2:
D MajorD
Please give me a reason to give up on myself

You can tell me that it's treason, this is stand and rebel
     A augmentedA
I won't pledge you my allegiance, I'll just bid you farewell
 G+G     D MajorD
Mmm, and goodbye


Chorus:
     B minorBm    A augmentedA
I'm not gonna give in
   G+G    D MajorD        B minorBm    A augmentedA    G+G
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
    D MajorD      B minorBm     A augmentedA
Rather die than lay down on my back
  G+G         A augmentedA
Got no white flag to throw
          A augmentedA
This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo

Bridge:
  D MajorD
I know that on the surface
  A augmentedA
It might seem like I'm just fine
      B minorBm
But I can’t eat, I barely sleep
       F# minorF#m
Sometimes, I wanna run and hide
        G+G
Feel like I'm dying in this cage
       D MajorD
My soul is trapped, I feel confined
      G+G
And I just wish they’d let me out
       A augmentedA
So I could finally live my life
  D MajorD
I know that on the surface
  A augmentedA
It might seem like I'm just fine
      B minorBm
But I can’t eat, I barely sleep
       F# minorF#m
Sometimes, I wanna run and hide
        G+G
Feel like I'm dying in this cage
       D MajorD
My soul is trapped, I feel confined
      G+G
And I just wish they’d let me out
       A augmentedA
So I could finally live my life


Chorus:
     B minorBm    A augmentedA
I'm not gonna give in
  G+G     D MajorD        B minorBm    A augmentedA    G+G
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
    D MajorD    B minorBm       A augmentedA
Rather die than lay down on my back
  G+G         A augmentedA
Got no white flag to throw
     B minorBm    A augmentedA
I'm not gonna give in
   G+G    D MajorD        B minorBm    A augmentedA    G+G
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life

This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo
