My Song

Am                 C
Tune in to find my peace and solitude
            F
These empty rooms spin
                                     G
And I embrace the flaws of being human
              Am                      C
The black and white and sometimes the greys
That stay for days
          F
The in-between times, the meantimes
                            G
That make the song of life sing

Am    C     Am
Play, rest, repeat
     C               F
Read exactly what is written on the sheet
           Am
Don't deviate they say
C          F                    Am
But I will play what's best for me
               C                 F
I'll press the keys and pull the strings
Create a symphony that's mine

    C             Em           Am       F
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
        C        Em                   Am
And the verses I write will speak for me
                      F
Good girls don't make history
         G             F
So I may never be what you assume
      Am                  C
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
   F                             Am
If I'm off-key then that's alright with me
C      F
Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on

Am               C
Let go, I let my voice be heard
                    F
Then listen for the echo
                         G *          Am
My own reverb is playing cause I'm a movement
                    C
There's dissonance, sometimes I make mistakes
       F                                  G *
Oh I'm human, after all I'm not your expectations

    Am    C       Am
But play, rest, repeat
                 C
That's what they ask of me
     F                                         Am
Just stick to this melody and stay between the lines
C          F                    Am
But I will play what's best for me
              C                   F
I'll ring the bells and crash the symbols
My harmonious design

    C             Em           Am       F
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
        C        Em                   Am
And the verses I write will speak for me
                      F
Good girls don't make history
         G             F
So I may never be what you assume
      Am                  C
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
   F                              Am
If I'm off-key then that's alright with me
C      F
Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on

C
In my time here
Em            Am
I wanna be revered and remembered
   F
Oh let them say I came, I conquered
C
So I won't fear
Em                Am
And I can't blend in
                      F
You can't replace and you cannot erase me
         Am   C    F
Cause my song will play on beyond time

    C             Em           Am       F
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
        C        Em                   Am
And the verses I write will speak for me
                      F
Good girls don't make history
         G             F
So I may never be what you assume
      Am                  C
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
   F                              Am
If I'm off key then that's alright with me
C      F
Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on

    C             Em           Am       F
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
        C        Em                   Am
And the verses I write will speak for me
                      F
Good girls don't make history
         G             F
So I may never be what you assume
      Am                  C
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
   F                              Am
If I'm off-key then that's alright with me
C      F
Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on
