              G 
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath 
                   C 
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess 
Em                      C 
So I sit quietly, agree politely 
G 
I guess that I forgot I had a choice 
                      C 
I let you push me past the breaking point 
Em 
I stood for nothing, so I fell for 
C 
everything 
    G 
You held me down but I got up (hey!) 
 
Already brushing off the dust 
    Em 
You hear my voice, you hear that sound 
C 
Like thunder gonna' shake the crowd 
    G 
You held me down but I got up (hey!) 
 
Get ready cos' I've had enough 
Em                           C9 
I see it all, I see it now 
 
 
                     G 
I got the eye of the ti--ger, a fighter, 
                    C 
dancing through the fi--re 
        Em 
Cos' I am a champion, and you're gonna' 
C       G 
hear me roar 
        G              C         Em 
Louder, louder than a lion, cos' I am a champion 
 
                  C       G 
And you're gonna' hear me roar (oh oh oh 
         Em 
oh oh oh oh oh 
              C       G 
You're gonna' hear me roar 
 
G 
Now I'm floating like a butterfly, 
 
                C 
'stinging like a bee, I earned my stripe 
Em                          C9 
I went from zero, to my own hero 
    G 
You held me down but I got up (hey!) 
 
Already brushing off the dust 
    Em 
You hear my voice, you hear that sound 
C9 
Like thunder gonna' shake the crowd 
    G 
You held me down but I got up (hey!) 
 
Get ready cos' I've had enough 
  Em                        C9 
I see it all, I see it now 
 
 
                     G 
I got the eye of the ti--ger, a fighter, 
                    C 
dancing through the fi--re 
        Em 
Cos' I am a champion, and you're gonna' 
C       G 
hear me roar 
        G              C         Em 
Louder, louder than a lion, cos' I am a champion 
 
                  C       G 
And you're gonna' hear me roar (oh oh oh 
         Em 
oh oh oh oh oh 
              C       G 
You're gonna' hear me roar
