Stand Up

Am C Em F
Am C Em F

[Verse 1]
Am    G                 Em      F
 I was too scared to let people hear me
Am       G               Em   F
 I never spoke up, I was too afraid
Am       G                  Em         F
 The days went by and I just stayed in silence
Am    G             Em F
 Nobody knew my pain


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am        G              Em    F
 I wasn't growing, I was dying slowly
Am       G                Em    F
 I knew I'd never make it if I didn't change
Am         G              Em        F
 I had to learn about the strength inside me
Am          G
 And throw the mask away


[Chorus]
Am    C          Em        F
 Stand up to the ones who hurt you
Am    C              Em   F
 Stand up, don't you be afraid
Am     C            Em       F
 Don't let anybody keep you silent
Am    C          Em    F
 Stand up, stand up, stand up
Am    C           Em       F
 Stand up for the sake of freedom
Am    C             Em        F
 Speak up, let them see your face
Am     C            Em       F
 Don't let anybody keep you silent
Am    C          Em    F
 Stand up, stand up, stand up


[Post-Chorus]
Am C Em F
Am C Em F
         I'm talking to you
Am C Em F
Am    C          Em    F
 Stand up, stand up, stand up


[Verse 2]
Am             G           Em       F
 It's getting better every day I'm breathing
Am           G                 Em        F
 My lips may tremble but they still will speak my mind
Am         G            Em     F
 In every trial, every changing season
Am            G       Em F
 I won't keep it inside, no, no


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am             G                Em      F
 'Cause I am stronger than the fears within me
Am         G             Em       F
 I have a voice and I deserve to let it say
Am           G               Em    F
 All of the joy, all of the pain around me
Am         G
 It's time to let me love


[Chorus]
Am    C          Em        F
 Stand up to the ones who hurt you
Am    C              Em   F
 Stand up, don't you be afraid
Am     C            Em       F
 Don't let anybody keep you silent
Am    C          Em    F
 Stand up, stand up, stand up
Am    C           Em       F
 Stand up for the sake of freedom
Am    C             Em        F
 Speak up, let them see your face
Am     C            Em       F
 Don't let anybody keep you silent
Am    C          Em    F
 Stand up, stand up, stand up


[Post-Chorus]
       Am  C Em
 Stand up
F               Am C Em F
 I'm talking to you, you
Am C Em F
    Oh
Am    C          Em    F
 Stand up, stand up, stand up
Am C Em   F                    Am       C   Em  F
      And tell truth about the way you feel, ooh
Am     C            Em       F
 Don't let anybody keep you silent
Am    C          Em    F
 Stand up, stand up, stand up

Am C Em F
Am C Em F
Am C Em F
Am C Em F
Am C Em F
Am C Em F
