[Verse 1]
G C
The whole wide world wants to put me in a box
G
A child of divorce
C
Paradise lost
G
If I'm being honest
C
I was born to fly
G
No one believes me
C Em7 D Em7 D
Surprise, surprise
G C G C
So, bring it on
[Verse 2]
G C
Dawn to dusk in a factory
G C
The bossman's always got it out for me
G C
While he drives home in a Cadillac
G C G C
I walk for miles, and never look back
[Chorus]
Em7 D
So get busy living
C G
Or get busy dying
Em7 D
If you don't take a stand
C G
Then there's no use in trying
Em7 D
If you don't spread your wings
C G
Then there's no way of flying
Em7 D
So get busy living
C G C G C
Or get busy dying
[Verse 3]
G
My treasure ain't gold
C
It ain't silver or shined
G
This ain't my home
C
I'm no slave to the grind
G C
Wasted days I will never get back
G
Done chasing my tail
C Em7 D Em7 D
And following the pack
G C G C
So, bring it on
[Chorus]
Em7 D
So get busy living
C G
Or get busy dying
Em7 D
If you don't take a stand
C G
Then there's no use in trying
Em7 D
If you don't spread your wings
C G
Then there's no way of flying
Em7 D
So get busy living
C G C G C G C G C Em7 D Em7 D G C G C
Or get busy dying
[Post-Chorus]
G C
The whole wide world wants to put me in a box
G C
But they'll never turn me into someone I'm not
G C
So, bring it on
G C
So, bring it on
G
Bring it on
