[Gm]I've got a stage and a mic
[Eb]Which I use to [D]say things you won't like
[Gm]But I spent years thinking I was alone (Thinking I was alone)
[Gm] Know I know, now I know, that I'm not, that I'm not
[Cm]And I'm sharing that comfort with those
[Gm]Who think that hope is lost
[Eb]Oh and I'm so [Bb]proud of where I am
[Eb]I'm learning where the standard to tread lightly
[Bb]So [F/A]hold back
[Gm]Steadfast you've gotta breathe
[Cm]And be content, just count to ten
[F]Like all the experts say and hear
[Gm]The drugs don't seem to work
[Cm]And they've got a padded room for you
[EBm]To get your just desserts.
[Gm]If I could chose my own name
[Cm]I'd chose something that's bold and fits
[Gm]Like anger, aggression, or cunningly brash
[Cm]By the skin of my teeth but with timing and class
[Gm]Oh woe is me (Oh woe is me)
[Cm]Oh woe [Eb]were us [D](Oh woe were us)
[Gm]But not anymore we stand up for ourselves
[Cm]We're like captains at war, we'll get followed to hell
[Eb]Oh and I'm so [Bb]proud of where I am
[Eb]I'm learning where the standard to tread lightly
[Bb]So [F/A]hold back
[Gm]steadfast you gotta breathe
[Cm]And be content, just count to ten
[F]Like all the experts say and hear
[Gm]The drugs don't seem to work
[Cm]And they've got a padded room for you
[EBm]To get your just desserts.
[D/F#]I and I we're [Gm]taking control of our lives
[D/F#]I and I we're [Gm]taking control of our lives
[D/F#]I and I we're [Gm]taking control of our lives
