Intro: C#m G#m A G#m 
 
verse 1 
C#m                                  G#m 
You show me love then spit in my face 
A                                    G#m 
Making your money off all of my pain 
C#m                                  G#m 
You put an eagle inside of a cage 
A                                    G#m 
And you think I'm not strong enough to escape 
 
Pre-Chorus 1 
C#m             G#m              A                G#m 
But I refuse to let you make me feel like I can't fly 
C#m             G#m              A                G#m 
Not only will I soar again, I'll own the fucking sky 
Yeah 
 
C#m G#m                     A 
So I put my middle finger up 
A   G#m                  C#m 
I'm done being your slave 
C#m G#m                     A 
My generation's had enough 
A   G#m                  C#m 
And you should be afraid 
C#m G#m                     A 
Oh woah oh, not your prisoner 
A       G#m                      C#m 
Oh woah oh, better listen when I say 
 G#m                   A 
I put my middle finger up 
A   G#m                  C#m 
I'm done being your slave 
 
verse 2 
C#m                                  G#m 
You couldn't even look me in the eye 
A                                    G#m 
When you let me go and then left me to die 
C#m                                  G#m 
But there was no question that I would survive 
A                                    G#m 
An artist on fire is one that's alive 
 
Pre-Chorus 2 
C#m             G#m              A                G#m 
You can't surround a lion with a bunch of lazy sheep 
C#m             G#m              A                G#m 
The one thing about royalty is that we love to feast 
 
C#m G#m                     A 
So I put my middle finger up 
A   G#m                  C#m 
I'm done being your slave 
C#m G#m                     A 
My generation's had enough 
A   G#m                  C#m 
And you should be afraid 
C#m G#m                     A 
Oh woah oh, not your prisoner 
A   G#m                  C#m 
Oh woah oh, better listen when I say 
C#m G#m                     A 
I put my middle finger up 
A   G#m                  C#m 
I'm done being your slave 
 
Bridge 
               A 
Living like a riot 
                C#m 
Setting off the sirens 
                        B 
Fists are clinched, I'm fighting 
                B 
Soul has been ignited 
               A 
Ain't got time for dying 
                C#m 
I'm too busy thriving 
                        B 
More than just surviving 
                B 
Heart is beating violent 
               A 
Living like a riot 
                C#m 
Setting off the sirens 
                        B 
Fists are clinched, I'm fighting 
                B 
Soul has been ignited 
               A 
Ain't got time for dying 
                C#m 
I'm too busy thriving 
                        B 
More than just surviving 
                B 
Heart is beating violent 
 
C#m G#m                     A 
So I put my middle finger up 
A   G#m                  C#m 
I'm done being your slave 
C#m G#m                     A 
My generation's had enough 
A   G#m                  C#m 
And you should be afraid 
C#m G#m                     A 
Oh woah oh, not your prisoner 
A   G#m                  C#m 
Oh woah oh, better listen when I say 
C#m G#m                     A 
I put my middle finger up 
A   G#m                  C#m 
I'm done being your slave
