Intro:

Am (4x) C (2x)

Verse 1:


 Em       Am
I've been up, I've been down

Am
Seen the world from the ground

Am
But I hear the drumming

                    A
Now my veins are pumping

  Em        Am
Scraped my knees, bruised my heart

Am
It's where you end, not where you start

Am
I see them running

                    A     Am
'Cause they see me coming


Pre-Chorus:


Am
I'm done with the noise that life seems to bring

Am
But I'll use my voice, it's my turn to sing

 C    D
Woo, woo


Chorus:


Em             F      Am
You know that all my life

            G
I have been waiting, I have been waiting for this

 F      Am
All my life

             G
I have been fighting, I have been fighting for this

 F           Am
Dream in my soul

        G          C
And I won't let it go

You know that

 F      Am
All my life

 N.C
They try to keep me down but I just get higher

Am (4x) C (2x)

They try to keep me down but I just get higher


Verse 2:

          Am
Broke my bones, tasted blood

Am
Burned my wings close to the sun

Am
But I'll keep on flying (flying)

                   A
I'm too young for dying (dying)

  Am
'Cause there's a dream I can taste

Think it's time I break my chains

Am
And run with the giants (giants)

                 A      Am
Like smoke, I'm rising


Pre-Chorus:


Am
I'm done with the noise that life seems to bring

Woo, woo
