♫ Intro: D Bm Em G ♫ Verse 1: D I tend to build walls Bm Yeah I can act tough Em I'm strong when I wanna be G That’s all the time for me D I've had my heart broke Bm My ego's been bruised Em I don’t give it away no more G That's what break ups are for D Bm I don't ask for help Em G I like to do things on by myself
♫ Chorus: D Can I stand on my own two feet Bm While you hold my hand? Em Can I be my own woman G With you as my man? D Bm Can I let you in without changing who I am? Em Do I have to choose?
