[Intro]

C F Am G

[Verse 1]

C F Am G

I look ahead into the days, and see my life comin' through

C F Am G

A different home, a different place, a life that I never knew

C F Am G

Was possible, or was I just fallin' asleep in the back of the classroom?

C F Am G

I hit my head, I must've fallen and lost all sense of cause

C F

I shouldn't think the way I do

Am G C F Am G

I think I might've said you. You told me what I should be

Am G F

But that's not what I'm gonna do

C F Am G

I ride around in my little car. I never go very far

C F Am G

I'm always tempted to go on and ride this journey alone

C F Am G Am G F

To where I belong to, where I can't be wrong

[Chorus]

C G F C G F

I'm taking a stand today. I will not conform again

Am G F

No, I'm not giving in, an inch

C G F

Well, life's just a game they say

C G F

Celebrate it like a holiday

Am G F

Like a song, beating in your heart, that won't go away

[Verse 3]

C F Am G

So I put it on, my plainest shirt, so I could blend with the jerks

C F Am G

Always do the best I can, and I start acting absurd

C F Am G C F Am G

'Cause when I come home from work, it kills me that I have to get back up in the morning

C F Am G

And we all need a little greed, we have to be so funny

C F Am G

A man can only be as big as how he stacks his money

C F Am G Am G F

It rules all of us fools, when did this become so cool?

[Chorus]

I'm taking a stand today. I will not conform again
