B5                                **
Is this better, tell me that's a better way
B5                             **
I'm not afraid, I'm not gonna hide from the
B5                          **
Vultures above, serpents below
B5
They wanna laid me to rest, but I won't go
 ** B5
Yeah
B5                              **
Is it better to die than live another day?
B5                             **
I'm not afraid, I'm not gonna run from the
B5                               **
Scars held within, burning the skin

They wanna laid me to rest, but I won't go
  ** B5
Yeah, I won't go

[Chorus]
          C                       D
I wanna stand up, a hundred feet tall
        Em                      G
'Cause fear will never lead my way
              C                      D
I'm ready to run, a hundred miles stroll
Em                   G
I will never be the same
 C          D        Em
Waking the lions in me
                G
I'm waking the lions in me
 C          D        Em*
Waking the lions in me

Waking the lions in me

[Verse 2]
B5                                   **
Beneath the ash I'm dying 'til I'll rise again
B5                              **
I'm not afraid, I'm not gonna stop till
B5                                             **
I'll break down this cage, escape from these chains
B5
You'll never silence my voice, no, I won't go
B5       **    
No, I won't go

I'm waking the lions in me

Waking the lions in me

Waking the lions in me

[Bridge]
C    D       Em
For way too long
G
I slept inside the dark
C    D     Em
But now I rise
G
It's time to make a mark
C           D        Em
Waking the lions in me
             G
Waking the lions in me

Waking the lions in me
