Rwby - This Life Is Mine

C#m A#m7 Emmaj7 Dm G#


[Verse 1]
C#m             A#m7     Emmaj7      Dm    G#
Mirror, can you hear me? Do I, reach you?
C#m             A#m7     Em          F#
Are you, even listening? Can I, get through?
          Bm                 F#m          Em       F#
There’s a part of me that’s desperate for changes
Bm             F#m            C
Tired of being treated like a pawn
              Bm               A                G#m7b5     G
But there’s a part of me that stares back, from inside the mirror
C#m7b5                              F#             A       G#
Part of me that’s scared I might be wrong, that I can’t be strong...

C#m                   A#m7            Emmaj7    Dm     G#
Ooh, ooooh, oooh oooh ooh oooooooooh, ooh ooh, oooooh, oooh


[Chorus]
C#m         B           A              B
I’ve been afraid, never standing on my own
C#m              B            A#m7b5  A
I let you be the keeper of my pride
C#m                   B             A#m7b5         A
Believed you when you told me I was nothing on my own
A             G#     A             G#     D#m7b5                    G#     C#m
Listen when I say, I swear it here today, I will not surrender this life is mine!

[Verse 2]
C#m                                                        A#m7
Amazing how you conquered me, chanined me in servility and made me see
    Emmaj7                                                          Dm              G#
The world the way you told me to, but I was young and didn’t have a way to know the truth
C#m                                                             A#m7
Born to live your legcacy, existing just to fill your needs, a casualty
Em                                                         F#
Of this so-called “family” that you have turned into a travesty

      Bm              F#m        Em      F#
But I don’t intend to suffer any longer
Bm                F#m             C
Here’s where your dominion falls apart
    Bm             A            G#m7b5           G
I’m shattering the mirror, that kept me split in pieces
     C#m7b5                       F#             A          G#
That stood between my mind and my heart, this is where I’ll start


[Chorus]
C#m          B          A                B
I’m not your pet, not another thing you own
C#m            B              A#m7b5   A
I was not born guilty of your crimes
     C#m            B               A#m7b5     A
Your riches and you influence can’t hold me anymore
G#                        A             G#       D#m7b5                     G#      N.C.
I won’t be possessed, burdened by your royal test, I will not surender this life is mine!

hold me

         Bm    F#m      Em      F#           Bm      F#m       C

your royal test
D#m7b5                   G#      C#m
