[Verse 1]
Gm
Almost all my life they told me that I couldn't
F
Dreaming every night, they told me that I shouldn't
Eb
Told me that I should've quit, that I'll never finish it
D
That I'll never reach the top and no one knows that I exist
Gm
But I kept climbing, kept grinding every day
F
And I kept writing everything I had to say
Eb
Now they wanna shut me up, shut me in, shut me out
D
Yeah, I'd be mad too if someone made me shut my mouth
Gm
But it's different when you never had a voice
F
When no one ever listened, so you never had a choice
Eb
Never had a path, only people in your way
D
Never had a mask or a reason to be fake
Gm
All you had was you and a reason to succeed
F
All you had to do was keep believing in the dream
Eb
All you ever knew was being weak and on your knees
D
But you're only gonna lose if you don't learn from your defeats
Gm
Yeah, gotta make the world know my name
[Chorus]
Gm F Eb
I've got my head in the clouds, my feet on the ground
D C D F
Yeah, I'm standing now and I am not afraid
Gm F Eb
With my head in the clouds, never looking down
D
Yeah, I'll never stop until the world knows my name
[Verse]
Gm
I wish I could go back, back when we were kids
F
When everything had passion with everything we did
Eb
Everything was honest, everything that we were promised
D
And the thought of what we wanted is what makes it so ironic
Gm
That it's different than the shit that we were told
F
How the rules were written, how the story really goes
Eb
"Everyone's your friend, give everyone a chance"
D
So everyone pretends that they really give a damn
Gm
Man, fuck that, nothing's ever what it seems
Bb F
People stepping over people, people preying on the weak
G Eb
'Cause it's business and we're feeding the machine
F D
Time is money, money's living, so we live with the disease
Gm
What happened to the magic? What happened to the thrill?
Bb F
What happened to the passion, the way we used to feel?
G Eb
All we see is fashion, fame and dollar bills
F D
And now I'm looking back, I wish the world I saw was real
[Chorus]
Gm F Eb
I've got my head in the clouds, my feet on the ground
D C D F
Yeah, I'm standing now and I am not afraid
Gm F Eb
With my head in the clouds, never looking down
D
Yeah, I'll never stop until the world knows my name
[Bridge]
Gm F
I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
Eb D F
But I can't, I won't break, that's how I know it, everything will be okay
Gm F
I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
Eb D F
But I can't, I won't break, that's how I know that, everything will be okay
Gm F
I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
Eb D F
But I can't, I won't break, I'm gonna make the world know my name
