Am Dm C
Am Dm
Oh! You gotta keep on keeping on,
C
Even with the feeling
C
That you're gonna keep losing
Am Dm
Oh! You gotta come back strong
C C
Oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh oh-oh

Oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh oh-oh
Am
He spent most of his youth
Dm
With his head down
C
Chubby, fugly, awkward walk
C
And not much of a talker
Am Dm
He was good at setting bad examples
C
But bad at math, crunch time
C
He kept it moving like the lunch line
Am
Working on his salad bars
Dm
And fruit punch lines
C
His simple triplets had his
C
English teachers tongue tied
Am Dm
As he starts pirouette for perfection
C
And Darren Aronofsky black swan reflection
F
He plucked feathers from his back
F
And watched his bottom limbs bend forward
Am
Towards something more, he wasn't sure
F
He plucked feathers from his back
F
And watched his bottom limbs bend forward
E
Towards something more, towards something more!

Am Dm
Raised in a broken home built brick
C
By government cheese brick
C
Back and forth between parents
Am
Making us sea sick
Am
On his knees every night
Dm
Praying for a little change
C
But the tooth fairy was broke
C
And offered little hope
Am
He used to stand in front of mirrors
Dm
With his toothbrush star searching
C
But he ain't have to search far
Am
He was smart and made a pact with himself
Dm C
With a smirk and made a vow that one day
C
His dad would never ever have to worry
F
He plucked feathers from his back
F
And watched his bottom limbs bend forward
Am
Towards something more, he wasn't sure

He plucked feathers from his back

Towards something more, towards something more!

Am Dm
Fast forward a few 24 hours
C
Little boy turned man
C
Makes good on his promise
Am
Just to say we didn't take the trips
Dm
To the Bahamas
F
Now your boy bank account
F
Got a few more commas...
Am Dm
The hard work payed off, don't it?
F
Plus it feel good when you can say you own it
Am Dm
No rent, lease, loan or a mortgage
F
That generator money, no shortage
F
He plucked feathers from his back

And watched his bottom limbs bend forward
Am
Towards something more, he wasn't sure
