G
You can be amazing
G
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
Em
You can be the outcast=
Em
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
C
Or you can start speaking up
G
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
G
And they settle ‘neath your skin
Em
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
C
Sometimes a shadow wins
D
But I wonder what would happen if you
[CHORUS]
G
You held me down, but I got up
Am*
Already brushing off the dust
Em
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
C
Like thunder, gonna shake your ground
G
You held me down, but I got up
Am*
Get ready cause I've had enough
Em C
I see it all, I see it now

G
I got the eye of the tiger, the fire,
Dancing through the fire
Em Am C G
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Em Am C G
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Em
Oh oh oh..., Oh oh oh..., Oh oh oh...
Am C G ...stop
You're gonna hear me roar
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
[CHORUS]
G
Say what you wanna say
Em C
And let the words fall out
D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
With what you want to say
Em C
And let the words fall out
D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave
(soft/muted slowly building)
D . . . . . . DDDD.. -Mute
Roar, roar, roar, roar¬¬
D
I wanna see you be brave
