What if we were all the same?

Same rules, same game

And we weren't allowed to change anything about anything

That anybody's ever done before?
D
Wouldn't that be boring?
G C Em
Always spinning on a ride, all walking on a line
D
That they drew a long time ago…
G C
When you know that you don't have to go where they go
Em D
You can go write your own story (so)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G C
(Hey!) hey, you gotta be
Em D
Who you oughta be
G C
So who do you wanna be?
Em D
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Em C
You can choose if you're bad, if you're good
G D
If you're left or right, speak in your heart or speak in your mind
Em C G
You can be what they say, you can be a cliche
D
You can tear up the box, and throw it away
G C
Everybody gotta be themselves
Em D
Everybody gotta dream out loud
G C
Everybody gotta be themselves
Em D
Square pegs make the world go ‘round

There's a lot of open doors, you can go and explore
D
You can always open more if you're hitting a wall
G C Em
Dropping the ball, haven't we all
D
Been down that same hallway?
G C Em
So let 'em talk and whisper, let 'em try to fix ya
D
Repaint your picture, at the end of the day
G C Em D
It fits in your frame, just 'cause you're different don't mean you're crazy
G C
Hey, hey, you gotta sing
Em D
Like nobody's listening
G C Em
'Cause somebody's listening, yeah
D
