              (verse) 
Bb5  Dm  Bb5  Dm 
 
                  Bb5     Dm 
I had a roof over head 
              Bb5     Dm 
Had shoes on my feet 
               Bb5 
Yeah sure I was fed 
               Dm                 Bb5           Dm 
But no one was there when I was in need... yeah 
 
            Bb5     Dm 
So who am I now? 
                      Bb5     Dm 
Who do you want me to be? 
            Bb5                Dm  
I can forgive you but I won't relive you 
             Bb5               F      C 
I ain't the same scared kid I use to be 
 
(Chorus) 
          Dm                F 
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive 
               C               G 
Don't want the world to pass me by 
          Dm                   F               C               G 
I'm gonna dream, I ain't gonna die thinking my life was just a lie 
           Bb5     Dm 
I wanna be loved 
           Bb5     F  C 
I wanna be loved 
 
(Verse) 
          Bb5  Dm                       Bb5     Dm 
I found a picture, our so called family tree... yeah 
                Bb5                   Dm 
I broke all the branches looking for answers 
               Bb5                   F          C 
Don't you know that it ain't how it supposed to be 
 
(Chorus) 
          Dm                F 
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive 
               C               G 
Don't want the world to pass me by 
          Dm                   F               C               G 
I'm gonna dream, I ain't gonna die thinking my life was just a lie 
         Dm                F               C             G 
I wanna give, I'm ready to try, willing to lay it on the line 
          Bb5    Dm   
I wanna be loved 
        A5    
I wanna be!      Bb5    F     C        D   C

I ain't gonna cry, I don't want to scream 
          Bb5           Dm             G 
But I got so much left unsaid inside of me
