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 EmC I see it all, I see it now
[Verse 2]
G I got the eye of the tiger, the fire, Dancing through the fire EmAmCG Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar Louder, louder than a lion EmAmCG Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar Em Oh oh oh..., Oh oh oh..., Oh oh oh... AmCG ...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 CG 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 EmC And let the words fall out D Honestly I wanna see you be brave G With what you want to say EmC 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)
DD (Mute) Roar, roar, roar, roar D I wanna see you be brave
