CAPO on 3rd Fret

Verse I:
 G
 I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

                       Am
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

 Em                             C
 So I sat quietly, agree politely

 G
 I guess that I forgot I had a choice

                    Am
I let you push me past the breaking point

 Em                                      C
 I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

     G
You held me down but I got up  hey!

                   Am
Already brushing off the dust

     Em
You hear my voice, you hear that sound

                         C
Like thunder gonna’ shake the crowd

     G
You held me down but I got up  hey!

                          Am
Get ready cos’ I’ve had enough

   Em
I see it all, I see it now


Chorus:

I got the eye of the ti--ger, the fighter, dancing through the fi--re

         Em                                            C      G
Cos’ I am a champion, and you’re gonna’ hear me roar

                        Am              Em
Louder, louder than a lion, cos’ I am a champion

Verse II:
 G                                                        Am
 Now I’m floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee, I earned my stripe

 Em                               C
 I went from zero, to my own hero

 G
 You held me down but I got up

     G
You held me down but I got up  hey!

                   Am
Already brushing off the dust

Like thunder gonna’ shake the crowd
