While I’m Alive

[Chorus]

          C#m G#m
If I can't be me
   G#m             A
Who do you want me to be?
               C#m           G#m
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
                       G#m                A
You don't faze me, and I don't trust you anyway
                       C#m          G#m
It's running through life, I figured out time
                G#m
Don't wait for no one
        A                    C#m G#m
So while I'm alive, I'ma just be me
     G#m             A
Whoever that ends up bein'

[First Part]

                  C#m       G#m
Don't say I'm too loud when I cry out
  G#m             A
What I've held inside
            C#m   G#m
I wanna know why they tried to take me
   G#m           A
And bury me alive
C#m    G#m
'Cause who am I, to think that I have a right
G#m             A
Or decide, to know what I need, right
   C#m       G#m
It's in the way, I talk now, walk away
    G#m              A
From what you may be

[Chorus]

          C#m G#m
If I can't be me
Continues after the ad
   G#m             A
Who do you want me to be?
               C#m           G#m
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
                         G#m                A
You don't faze me, and I don't trust you anyway
                       C#m          G#m
It's running through life, I figured out time
                G#m
Don't wait for no one
        A                    C#m G#m
So while I'm alive, I'ma just be me
     G#m             A
Whoever that ends up bein'

[Second Part]

C#m       G#m
And I know this is all too familiar
 G#m             A
For the motive behind all that fake love
C#m       G#m
I can't take all these unsolicited opinions
G#m             A
Go ahead and be the scared ones
C#m       G#m
Either way, I'll get it done
  G#m             A
I've been told I'm too much
C#m       G#m
Too proud, too cool
 G#m             A
Too wild, difficult to be around with
 C#m       G#m
Too much to say
  G#m             A
Never in the right way
      A7M
So, what's the right way?

[Final Chorous]

          C#m G#m

   G#m             A
Who do you want me to be?
               C#m           G#m
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
                         G#m                A
You don't faze me, and I don't trust you anyway
                       C#m          G#m
It's running through life, I figured out time
                G#m
Don't wait for no one
        A                    C#m G#m
So while I'm alive, I'ma just be me
     G#m             A
Whoever that ends up bein'

         A7M
