G
I can remember a time when I was so afraid
Em
When even my shadow wouldn't follow me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G
So I, I, I'm picking up my sword
To shatter all the pieces that I was before
C G
Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
D
For, for, for
[Chorus]
C
So put me in a cage
G
Lock me in a room
D
Throw away the key, I dare you
C
I'll break down the walls
G
A high-heeled wrecking ball
D
And I won't let you tear me down, no
C G
OOoohh OOoohh
D
Throw away the key
I dare you
C G
OOoohh OOoohh
D
And I won't let you tear me down, no
[Verse 2]
G
I had an opinion, but I never spoke my mind
Em
And I wouldn't argue, even when I knew I was right
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G
But I, I, I'm not that girl anymore
Yeah, I lost the battle but I won the war
C G
Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
D
For, for, for
[Chorus]
C
So put me in a cage
G
Lock me in a room
D
Throw away the key, I dare you
C
I'll break down the walls
G
A high-heeled wrecking ball
D
And I won't let you tear me down, no
C G
OOoohh OOoohh
D
Throw away the key, I dare you
C G
OOoohh OOoohh
D
And I won't let you tear me down, no
[Bridge]
C
I just kept on running, running, running
G
Trying to find out who I was
D Em
I would go the distance but it wasn't far enough
C G
But now I'm standing straight and know exactly who I am
D Em
Yeah, yeah
G Em
I can remember a time when I was so afraid
[Chorus]
C
Put me in a cage
G
Lock me in a room
D
Throw away the key, I dare you
C
I'll break down the walls
G
A high-heeled wrecking ball
D
And I won't let you tear me down, no
C G
OOoohh OOoohh
D
Throw away the key, I dare you
C G
OOoohh OOoohh
D
And I won't let you tear me down, no
[Outro]
C G
I won't let you tear me down, no
D Em
I won't let you tear me down, no
