[Verse]

        Am
Growing up parents got me a guitar
                  G
Said you can do anything kid you can go far
                 F
You can be the president fireman race cars
                F
The sky's the limit kid so shoot for the stars


        Am
So I strummed that guitar every day
         G
Found a passion for music never went away
                   F
I joined a couple bands and played a few shows
           F
Tried to impress the girl in the front row


          Am
But soon enough everything starts to change
            G
As you grow up nobody treats you the same
                    F
They try take your future and make it real safe
                 F
You could be a doctor accountant or something sane



But yo

Am
What ever happened to the sky was the limit?
G
I fell in love with music never thought it was a gimmick
F
I worked so hard on every tune and every single lyric
F
My whole identity dependent on being artistic


         Am
Now you want to strip that away?
             G
So you feel ok?

Cuz if I make it to the top what does that really say?
      F
That you shouldn't have given up, that you made the mistake
      F
But if I fail you feel much better bout pickin' your lane right


      Am                                    G                  F
Yea things are gunna get better (Thing are gonna get better) real soon
       F                          Am
Yea Ima just do me you just do you
 G                                 F
I swear it's gunna get better real soon
                            F
Don't let anyone tell you what you should do


 Am
I got a clear view
 G
We're gunna make it soon
 F
Just keep pushing through
 F
Yea what you got to lose?
 Am
Yea what you got to lose?
 G
Yea what you got to lose?
 F
Just keep pushing through
 F
Cuz what you got to lose?

    G             F          Am
 half lenght  half length   normal  -> Just strum once down

[Chorus]

G   F       Am
I won't give up
 G   F      Am
I won't back down
 G    F   Am
Till I'm lying 6 feet underneath the deep ground
 G   F   Am
I won't give up
 G    F      Am
I won't back down
 G     F                    Am
Cuz nobody's stopping me except for me now

[Verse]

    Am
And let's be honest life's a competition
 G
So if I'm going to play then I'm gon play to win it
 F                                       F
I refuse to sit and rot at a desk all day

Unless I have a passion I'm working towards ok



[Verse]



 Am
Id rather be dead on the outside than inside
 G
A bullet to the head than 25 to life
 F                                    F
In a cubicle alone just trying get by

Building someone else's dream instead of building mine


 Am
If you're hearin' me this is meant to inspire
 G
If you have a dream or if you have desires
 F                                                 F
A girl in your life that's makin' you feel that fire

Go fight for her man go die for her man


 Am
Cuz you only have one life one chance to do it
 G
One chance to prove it to yourself so don't lose it
 F                                               F
You got this fam just keep pushing on through it

One day you'll look back so glad you pursued it


 Am
You ain't gon stop me now
 G
Because I got this now
 F
I got the formula and I'm about to drop it loud
 F
So what we talking bout
 Am
There is no talkin' now
 G
We take action with passion
 F                   F
We're rockin' now


 Am
It's tick tockin' now
 G
The clocks tockin' down
 F
And all I hear is haters try so hard to talk me down
 F
But they can't stop the sound
 Am
Already on the ground
 G                                         F
Everything is growing faster than I can count
