G
I can remember a time when I was so afraid
             Em
When even my shadow wouldn't follow me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
   G
So I, I, I'm picking up my sword

To shatter all the pieces that I was before
      C              G
Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
D
For, for, for

[Chorus]
               C
So put me in a cage
             G
Lock me in a room
              D
Throw away the key, I dare you
                     C
I'll break down the walls
                       G
A high-heeled wrecking ball
                    D
And I won't let you tear me down, no
    C          G
OOoohh      OOoohh
               D
Throw away the key
I dare you
    C          G
OOoohh      OOoohh
                    D
And I won't let you tear me down, no

[Verse 2]
          G
I had an opinion, but I never spoke my mind
               Em
And I wouldn't argue, even when I knew I was right

[Pre-Chorus 2]
    G
But I, I, I'm not that girl anymore

Yeah, I lost the battle but I won the war
      C              G
Cause I, I, I'm worth fighting for
D
For, for, for

[Chorus]
               C
So put me in a cage
             G
Lock me in a room
              D
Throw away the key, I dare you
                     C 
I'll break down the walls
                       G
A high-heeled wrecking ball
                    D
And I won't let you tear me down, no
    C          G
OOoohh      OOoohh
               D
Throw away the key, I dare you
    C          G
OOoohh      OOoohh
                    D
And I won't let you tear me down, no

[Bridge]
               C
I just kept on running, running, running
       G
Trying to find out who I was
D                             Em
I would go the distance but it wasn't far enough
    C                                 G
But now I'm standing straight and know exactly who I am
D     Em
Yeah, yeah
G                         Em
I can remember a time when I was so afraid

[Chorus]
               C
Put me in a cage
             G
Lock me in a room
              D
Throw away the key, I dare you
                     C 
I'll break down the walls
                       G
A high-heeled wrecking ball
                    D
And I won't let you tear me down, no
    C          G
OOoohh      OOoohh
               D
Throw away the key, I dare you
    C          G
OOoohh      OOoohh
                    D
And I won't let you tear me down, no

[Outro]
                C           G
I won't let you tear me down, no
                D             Em
I won't let you tear me down, no
