[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse]
GShe left me lonely with love in her eyes
like a Clong lost sister saying last Ggoodbyes.
Oh but Dshe loves the fire just as much as she likes Csighs
GYou ain’t ever lonely Dif there’s love in her eyes. 
GCleared my conscious, called it clean 
like a Challowed homestead covered in Ggasoline. 
DNo one loves a liar as much as they love Cnicotine. 
Now GI ain’t saying nothing Dthat I don’t Gmean. 
[Chorus]
I won’t Gbe defined by who I am when I’m Cweak, 
Gwhen my mind has had its seasoned grip on Cme. 
I don’t haAmve to be a victim to the forces you can’t Csee. 
I won’t be GdefineDd by who I am when I’m Gweak. 
[Verse]
GLost a friend then to the TV screen 
like a Cfallen firefly drawn to the lamplight Gscene. 
But DI loved my time there just as much as you loved Cme. 
Never let your Gheart Dget in the way of your Gdreams. 
[Chorus]
I won’t Gbe defined by who I am when I’m Cweak, 
Gwhen my mind has had its seasoned grip on Cme. 
I don’t haAmve to be a victim to the forces you can’t Csee. 
I won’t be GdefineDd by who I am when I’m Gweak. 
[Instrumental]
Am D C G Am D C C Am D C G Am D C C D
[Verse]
My Gmom got cancer so I grew my hair 
like a Craised middle finger to the man Gupstairs. 
Oh but DGod loves a fighter just as much as he loves Cprayers. 
My Gmom beat cancer Dand I’ll keep my Ghair.
[Interlude]
G C G C Am C G D G
[Chorus]
I won’t Gbe defined by who I am when I’m Cweak, 
Gwhen my mind has had its seasoned grip on Cme. 
I don’t haAmve to be a victim to the forces you can’t Csee. 
I won’t be GdefineDd by who I am when I’m Gweak. 
I won’t be GdefineDd by who I am when I’m Gweak.
