Verse:
CGF The higher you build your barriers; the taller I become.
CGF The further you take my rights away; the faster I will run.
GAmGBbAmDmAmGAmG You can deny me, you can decide, to turn your face a -way.
No matter, 'cos there's...
Chorus:
CGFC Something inside, so strong;
Dm7GC I know that I can make it, though you're doing me wrong, so wrong.
GFC You thought that my pride was gone, oh, no;
Dm7GAmEmF Something in-side, so strong, oh, oh oh oh oh oh,
GC Something in-side, so strong.
Verse:
C The more you refuse to hear my voice,
GF -Ooh-weh ooh-weh, ooh-weh ooh-weh-, the louder I will sing.
C You hide behind walls of Jericho,
GF -Ooh-weh ooh-weh, ooh-weh ooh-weh-, your lies come tumbling.
GAmGBbAmDm Deny my place in time; you squander wealth that's mine;
AmGAmG My light will shine, so brightly, it will blind you, because there's...
