D   E             A
I don't wanna go along with the crowd
            D         E       A
Don't wanna live life under a cloud.
             F#m
Give me some air and space
        B
And the sun on my face
D                E
I wanna live out loud!

            D   E           A
Don't wanna be alone in the crowd
            D      E          A
Don't wanna seem peculiar and proud
          F#m
I need to be as free 
     B
As I know how to be
D                A
I wanna live out loud!


A
Every day - sleep walk, lock step
Dm
No one dares to stray
A
Though they may - straightlaced, shamefaced
Dm
Long to break away.
E                 A
They're as lonely as can be,
D                 Dm
Is that what they want from me?


Chorus:
              D   E             A
I don't wanna go along with the crowd
            D         E       A
Don't wanna live life under a cloud.
             F#m
Give me some air and space
        B
And the sun on my face
D                E
I wanna live out loud!

            D   E           A
Don't wanna be alone in the crowd
            D      E          A
Don't wanna seem peculiar and proud
       F#m
Nobody wants me here
      B
But I won't disappear
D                A
I wanna live out loud!


A
I wanna run down an open shoreline
A
I wanna join in a moonlit dance
A
I wanna swing with the branches of a tree
F7
I wanna bathe in a hidden inlet
F7
And let the breeze come and dry my hair
Gm                                  E
I want the life they took away from me

E                A
If that makes me headstrong - fine!
D                  Dm
That's a fault I'm glad is mine.


Chorus:
              D   E             A
I don't wanna go along with the crowd
              D       E         A
Don't want my spirit broken and bowed
         F#m                   B
Why do I have to hide what I'm feeling inside?
D                E
I wanna live out loud!

            D   E           A
Don't wanna be alone in the crowd
       D         E        A
I only want what I'm not allowed
            F#m
Give me the wings of a bird
        B
I'll be seen and be heard,


D
I wanna sing when my heart is full
D
I wanna sing and I wanna fly
D                                 E
I wanna soar in the sky without a cloud
                 A
I wanna live out loud!
