Don't forget the capo on 1st fret                
You can replace de F#dim with de D/F# but I think that sounds better with F#dim at the end of the chorus.
[Intro]
Am  F
[Verse]
You Amtry and keep me out of sight
You try and keep me out of sight and out of Fmind
Out of minFd
You Amtry and keep me from the light
You try and keep me from the light, but I know it's miFne
I know it's minFe
[Pre chorus]
You're rigging the gFame
You're part of the Fsystem
It shows in the Amway
That you never lAmisten when I speak
I'm not gonna Fwait
I've made my decEision
[Chorus]
And I'm Amnot gonna sD/F#it in the Cdark anymorFeF#dim  
No I'm nAmot gonna sD/F#it in the dCark anymoFreF#dim  
[Verse]
You're Amalways telling me I'm not
You're always telling me I'm not, not enFough
But I'm enougFh
You're aAmlways turning back the clock
You're always turning back the clock, but time is Fup
Time is Fup
[Pre chorus]
You're rigging the Fgame
You're part of the Fsystem
It shows in the Amway
That you never lAmisten when I speak
I'm not gonna Fwait
I've made my decEision
[Chorus]
And I'm Amnot gonna sD/F#it in the Cdark anymorFeF#dim  
No I'm nAmot gonna sD/F#it in the dCark anymoFreF#dim  
[Bridge]
We've taken our kFnocks
We're not gonna tF#dimake them anymore
We're not gonna stFop
Cause we've seen a woF#dimrld worth fighting for
Ready or noFt
Together we're F#dimkicking down the door
[Outro]
And we're Amnot gonna sD/F#it in the Cdark anymorFeF#dim

D/F#

F#dim

Don't forget the capo on 1st fret

You can replace de F#dim with de D/F# but I think that sounds better with F#dim at the end of the chorus.

[Intro]

Am F

[Verse]

You try and keep me out of sight

You try and keep me out of sight and out of mind

Out of mind

You try and keep me from the light

You try and keep me from the light, but I know it's mine

I know it's mine

[Pre chorus]

You're rigging the game

You're part of the system

It shows in the way

That you never listen when I speak

I'm not gonna wait

I've made my decision

[Chorus]

Am D/F# C F F#dim

And I'm not gonna sit in the dark anymore

Am D/F# C F F#dim

No I'm not gonna sit in the dark anymore

[Verse]

You're always telling me I'm not

You're always telling me I'm not, not enough

But I'm enough

You're always turning back the clock

You're always turning back the clock, but time is up

Time is up

[Pre chorus]

You're rigging the game

You're part of the system

It shows in the way

That you never listen when I speak

I'm not gonna wait

I've made my decision

[Chorus]

Am D/F# C F F#dim

And I'm not gonna sit in the dark anymore

Am D/F# C F F#dim

No I'm not gonna sit in the dark anymore

[Bridge]

We've taken our knocks

F#dim

We're not gonna take them anymore

We're not gonna stop

F#dim

Cause we've seen a world worth fighting for

Ready or not

F#dim

Together we're kicking down the door

[Outro]

Am D/F# C F F#dim

And we're not gonna sit in the dark anymore

Am D/F# C F F#dim

No we're not gonna sit in the dark anymore
