Intro-
G Em


G
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
                            Am*        Em
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
                           C       G
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
                           Am*           Em
I let you push me past the breaking point
                                   C
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

Dancing through the fire
      Em                               C        G

Louder, louder than a lion

G
 Now I'm floatin' like a butterfly
                      Am*              Em
Stingin' like a bee I earned my stripes
                        C
I went from zero, to my own hero
