(Am)First things first, I’m a say all the words in side my (F)head.

I’m fired up and (G#dim)tired of the way that things have (Am)been.

Oh, ooh,

the way that things have (F)been.

Oh, ooh.

(Am)Se cond things se cond, don’t you tell me what you think that I can (F)be.

I’m the one at the (G#dim)sail, I’m the mas ter of my (Am)sea.

Oh, ooh,

Oh, ooh.

I was (Am)bro ken from a young age, tak ing my sulk ing to the mass es, wri ting my (F)po ems for the few that look at me, (G#dim)took to me, shook to me, feel ing me sing ing from (Am)heart ache, from the pain, tak ing my mes sage from the veins, speak ing my (F)les son from the brain, see ing the (G#dim)beau ty through the…

(Am)pain.

You made me a, you made me a be (F)liev er,

Oh, ooh,

Oh, ooh.

I was (Am)chok ing in the crowd, liv ing my brain up in the cloud, fall ing like (F)ash es to the ground, hop ing my (G#dim)feel ings, they would drown.

But they (Am)nev er did, ev er lived, ebb ing and flow ing, in hib it ed, lim it ed, ’til it broke up and it (F)rained down, it rained (G#dim)down like…
