It's harder than it seems

The price they offer

Sell my soul to make a profit

All I have to do

That something I can't do


Chorus:
F#               A
I here a voice inside

I'm not the next of them

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