DeGfiance
And Gever since I was a kid
They Gsaid just stay away from there
BmBoy don't you ever Emlive
In DeBmfianEmce, deBmfianGce
From the Goutside looking in
I Gsure do make an easy target
It's Gnice to think that you are always   wanteEmd
GI'm not afraid to laugh
And I Gdon't mind taking a photograph
Because you Bmdon't ask for my aEmutograph
In dBmefiaEmnce, dBmefianGce 
Yet she Bmsaid it was rusted leEmad
That Bmlove could never lEmive again
But they Bmfound a way to mEmake it stay
In deBmfiance
She Emasked

Why Bmcan't we just be friEmends?
This Bmkind of thing aEmlways happens 
I Bmfell in love aEmgain
With BmdefiEmance, deBmfianGce

There was a hope when we found the bridge

Of a place we'd never been

Defiance

And ever since I was a kid

They said just stay away from there

Bm Em

Boy don't you ever live

Bm Em Bm G

In Defiance, defiance

From the outside looking in

I sure do make an easy target

G Em

It's nice to think that you are always wanted

I'm not afraid to laugh

And I don't mind taking a photograph

Bm Em

Because you don't ask for my autograph

Bm Em Bm G

In defiance, defiance

Bm Em

Yet she said it was rusted lead

Bm Em

That love could never live again

Bm Em

But they found a way to make it stay

In defiance

She asked

Defiance

She asked

Bm Em

Why can't we just be friends?

Bm Em

This kind of thing always happens

Bm Em

I fell in love again

Bm Em Bm G

With defiance, defiance
