[Verse 1]
Gmajor                       Bm
They say they don't like the colour of
   Cmajor
my hair
Gmajor               Gsus          G
My childish dreams, they won't get me
N.C.
anywhere
Gmajor                       Bm
They say they don't like the style of
   Cmajor
my clothes
Gmajor                     Gsus
That I don't stand a single chance
     G
What do they know?
Gmajor Bm         Fsus4  Em
All of those sleepless nights
            Bm   D
Thinking I won't survive
G      Bm     Fsus4  Em
Almost gave up, I  was breaking
N.C.
(breaking)
Gmajor    Em   G
But in my darkest hour
           Em    G
I found my inner power
     Bm          Em     Gmajor
And life is mine for the taking


[Chorus]
G    D                Em    Dsus
So I stand right here and nobody would
Em
know
     Dsus   D                     C
It's been a long, long troublesome road
N.C.
(I did it on my own)

G        D              Em      Dsus
And I've got this smile upon my face
     Em
even though
     Dsus   D                     C
It's been a long, long troublesome road

G             Em Bm   Em    Bm     Dsus
I did it on my own. I did it on my own.
  D                Em    G

They say that I shouldn't play my music

I'm going nowhere cos I don't run with
N.C.
their crowd
Gmajor                        Bm
They say the world don't need people
Cmajor

Gmajor                     Gsus
Such hateful words, didn't know they
G
cut so deep

Gmajor Bm         Fsus4  Em
All of those sleepless nights
            Bm   D
Thinking I won't survive
G      Bm     Fsus4  Em
Almost gave up, I  was breaking
Gmajor    Em   G
But in my darkest hour
           Em    G
I found my inner power
     Bm          Em    Gmajor Em7/B Gmajor
And life is mine for the taakkiinnnggg
