My Song

 
Capo on 3rd fret
               
 
 
verse 1: 
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 
          F  
The in-between times, the meantimes 
                            G * 
That make the song of life sing 
 
Pre-Chorus 
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 
 
verse 2: 
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 
 
Pre-Chorus 
    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 
 
Bridge: 
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 (x2)
