[Verse 1]
Bbm
We're thought to be like them
Bbm
Taught to know a place
A F
We kept the pace but we're done pretending
Db Ebm
We'll fall blindly through the fairy tale endings
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bbm
They tried to sell us the convenience and conformity
A F
Those are the images of the man that I want to be
Db Ebm
Rise up if you agree
[Chorus]
Gb
And let your freak flags fly
Ebm
We're all messed up inside
Bbm Db
And forced to act like everything's alright
Gb
Wave those freak flags high
Ebm
Rejected 'til we die
Bb
To hell with tomorrow
B Bbm
Just let your freak flags fly tonight
[Verse 2]
Bbm
We're taught to fall in line
Bbm
Taught to know the rules
A F
We've played the fools and we're over the laughter
Db Ebm Fm Bbm
They can't keep us up in the happily ever afters
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bbm
They can't sell us on convenience and conformity
A F
Those are the properties of the people that we want to be
Db Ebm
Rise up if you agree
[Chorus]
Gb
And let your freak flags fly
Ebm
We're all messed up inside
Bbm Db
And forced to act like everything's alright
Gb
Wave those freak flags high
Ebm
Rejected 'til we die
Bb
To hell with tomorrow
B Gb
Just let your freak flags fly tonight
[Break]
Gb Ebm Bbm
[Bridge]
Gb
We form a different mold
Ebm
Stuck in a different skin
Bbm
We will never back down
Bbm
We will never fit in
Gb
A different breed
Ebm
Stuck in a different skin
Bbm
We will never back down
Bbm
We will never fit in
[Final Chorus]
Gb
And let your freak flags fly
Ebm
We're all messed up inside
Bbm Db
And forced to act like everything's alright
Gb
Wave those freak flags high
Ebm
Rejected 'til we die
Bb
To hell with tomorrow
Db Gb
Just let your freak flags fly

We're all messed up inside

And forced to act like everything's alright

Wave those freak flags high

To hell with tomorrow
B Bbm
Just let your freak flags fly tonight
