Lyrics

Like a small boat

on the o cean

send ing big waves

in to mo tion.

Like how a sin gle word

can make a heart o (C)pen,

I might on ly have (G5)one match that I can make an ex plo sion.

And all those (G)things I did n’t say were wreck ing balls in side my brain, and I will scream ’em a loud to night.

Can you hear my voice this time?

(CN.C.)This is my (G)fight song, take back my (D)life song, prove I’m al (Em)right song.

My pow er’s (G)turned on.

Start ing right now I’ll (D)be strong.

I’ll play my (Em)fight song.

And I (C)don’t real ly care if no bod y else be (Em)lieves

’cause (CN.C.)I’ve still got a lot of fight left in (G)me.

(Em)Los in’ friends and I’m chas in’ sleep.

(C)Ev ’ry bod y’s wor ried ’bout me, (G)in too deep,

say I’m (D)in too deep, (in too deep.) It’s (Em)been two years.

I miss my home, but there’s a (C)fire burn in’ in my bones.

I (G)still be lieve,

yeah, I (D)still be lieve.

And all of those (C)I’ve still got a lot of fight left in (Em)me,

a lot of fight left in (G)me.

(CN.C.)Like a small boat

on the o cean

send ing big waves

in to mo tion.

Like how a (D)sin gle word

can make a heart o (C)pen.

I might on ly have (G)one match,

but I can make an ex (CN.C.)plo sion.

This is my fight song, take back my life song, prove I’m al (E5)right song.

(CN.C.)My pow er’s (G)turned on.

Start ing right now I’ll (D)be strong.

I’ll play my (Em)fight song.

And I (C)don’t real ly care if no bod y else be (G)lieves

’cause (D)I’ve still got a lot of fight left in (Em7)me.

No, (C)I’ve still got a lot of fight left in (CN.C.)me.

Fight Song — Easy Piano Notes for Beginners

16 people have learned this song

Learn "Fight Song" on piano with easy notes — perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of G, 90 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement in G at 90 BPM is a fantastic workout for moving between regular chords and their close cousins — you'll toggle between shapes like D and Dsus4, C and Csus2, which means training your fingers to lift or shift just one note while keeping the rest of your hand anchored.

Your left hand plays a steady block bass pattern, so lock that in first by itself until it feels automatic; it's the engine underneath everything.

Once that's solid, add the right hand and focus on the transitions into the power chords — Gpow, Cpow, Epow — which should hit with real confidence during the chorus to match the song's energy.

If you stumble anywhere, it'll likely be rushing through the verse's Em7-to-Csus2 movement, so loop that passage slowly until the shape change is smooth.

This is the piece that'll make suspended chords feel like second nature in your hands.
