G A
Look up at the starry night sky
C
And down at the dirty ground.
Em
This world would be so beautiful
D/F# G
If it weren?t for right now.
A
The small of my back is sore.
C
My arms they burn galore.
My legs that are glued to
Em D/F#
My feet so blistered and bruised
G A Em
From walking? in your shoes.
D/F# C
I promise that I?ll be
G A Em D/F# C
Everything they wanted me to be.
G A Em D/F# C
But oh, dear God, it?s tearing me apart.
G A Em D/F# C Cm
This world that we live in? is done.
G
No I won?t let this go.
Em
I won?t let them take control
A C G
Of my life as we know.
I?m completely aware
Em
That where I?m from is just one tiny
A C G
Glimpse of hell I live.
A
I?ve been trying to see the best,
But its pushing spring and
C Em D/F#
I don?t feel any weight off my chest.
G A
And I, I?ve been trying to sleep this off.
C
Frustrated with this game,
Cause the days always change.
Em D/F# G A Em
But the patterns, they stay the same. Oh, oh,
D/F# C
I promise that I?ll be
G A Em D/F# C
Everything they wanted me to be.
G A Em D/F# C
But oh, dear God, it?s tearing me apart.
G A Em D/F# C Cm
This world that we live in? is done.
G
No I won?t let this go.
Em
I won?t let them take control
A C G
Of my life as we know.
I?m completely aware
Em
That where I?m from is just one tiny
A C G
Glimpse of hell I live.
G A C
In my small town, on my back porch,
Em D/F# G
I?ve been thinking about those days I acted like myself.
A
But those days aren?t gone,
C
That?s why I sing this song.
Em D/F# G
I?ll find myself and I?ll remain headstrong.
A C Em D/F# Em
I won?t let this go. I won?t let this go.
A C Em D/F#
I won?t let this go. I won?t let this go.
