It's harder than it seems

D  F#
If I can't refuse

The price they offer

Sell my soul to make a profit

All I have to do

That something I can't do

That something I can't do

So when the waiting's gone
            E
It's time to face the truth

You know your good enough
   D       F#
Deep down inside of you

           A
You're finally woken up
         E
If only just to prove
             C#
You are born to lead the way
   D        F#
Then be the first of you
