Em C
Your heavy hateful gaze places all the
Em
Weight and blame right on my shoulders
C
Meant to bring me down to the ground and shiver
Em
While the room gets colder and colder
C
You thought it worked out all so well
G
You thought you sent me down to hell
D
You thought it worked out all so well
But know that I'm not dead yet
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em
Ohh, ohh, ohh
No, I'm not dead yet
C D Em
Ohh, ohh, ohh
[Chorus]
Em C
It's how the mighty mock the weak
G
I'm not one of them
D
So here's a promise I will keep
Em C
And I swear, I will be free
G D Em
Never again, rule over me
[Verse 2]
Em
Well, you can try to bring me down
C Em
To a place where I feel guilty, lost, and lonely
I won't let that happen now
C Em
You can try your best, but I won't let you break me
C
I should have seen the signs were there
G
But I could never be prepared
D
I should have seen the signs were there
C
But I wouldn't accept it, I was scared
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em
Ohh, ohh, ohh
No, I'm not dead yet
C D Em
Ohh, ohh, ohh
[Chorus]
Em C
It's how the mighty mock the weak
G
I'm not one of them
D
So here's a promise I will keep
Em C
And I swear, I will be free
G D Em F#m G
Never again, rule over me
[Bridge]
Em D
Well, I'm not scared
C
I'll make it through somehow
G Em
This isn't over now
D
All of my fears
C
I'll overcome somehow
G
I'll overcome somehow
[Chorus]
Em C
It's how the mighty mock the weak
G
I'm not one of them
D
So here's a promise I will keep
Em C
And I swear, I will be free
G D G
Never again, rule over me
