Speak For Myself

INTRO: AM D (The strumming is a little fast...listen to the CD to get an idea of how it sounds)

        Am                    D
Do you see me – do you care?
            Am                 D
You talk about me like I’m not there
             Am                D
Don’t get a word in when you’re around
          Am                   D
I bet you don’t know what I’m about

            Em     C   G    D
        Cuz I will, I will speak for myself
        Em       C              G
        What you see isn’t all I am
           D
        I need a place to stand
        Em      C  G    D
        I will, I will speak for myself
                    Am            C
        There’s so much you’re missing
            Am                        D
        If you cared you’d listen

You suffocate me, you drown me out
I’m tired of waiting without a doubt
I feel I’m fading, I flicker out
My heart is screaming without a sound

CHORUS

C   G
           C      D      G
I’m not sorry for who I am
Em           D
take it or leave it
C    G       C              G       Em
          It’s my time to take a stand
       Am          D
        Throw it or keep it
C                 Am
Know that, don’t need to understand
Em              D
Won’t say it again
