Verse 1:
Gm G
Tune in to find my peace and solitude
F
These empty rooms spin
C
And I embrace the flaws of being human
Gm G
The black and white and sometimes the greys
F
The in-between times, the meantimes
C
That make the song of life sing
Pre-Chorus
Gm G Gm
Play, rest, repeat
G F
Read exactly what is written on the sheet
Gm
Don’t deviate they say
G F Gm
But I will play what’s best for me
G F
I’ll press the keys and pull the strings
Create a symphony that’s mine
Chorus:
G Gm Gm F
And I’ll spend my life penning my song, my song
G Gm Gm
And the verses I write will speak for me
F
Good girls don’t make history
C F
So I may never be what you assume
Gm G
Don’t want your hooks or auto-tune
F Gm
If I’m off-key then that’s alright with me
G F
Oh and maybe you will learn this when I’m gone
My song will carry on
Verse 2:
Gm G
Let go, I let my voice be heard
F
Then listen for the echo
C Gm
My own reverb is playing cause I’m a movement
G
There’s dissonance, sometimes I make mistakes
F C
Oh I’m human, after all I’m not your expectations
Pre-Chorus:
Gm G Gm
But play, rest, repeat
G
That’s what they ask of me
F Gm
Just stick to this melody and stay between the lines
G F Gm
But I will play what’s best for me
G F
I’ll ring the bells and crash the symbols
My harmonious design
Chorus:
G Gm Gm F
And I’ll spend my life penning my song, my song
G Gm Gm
And the verses I write will speak for me
F
Good girls don’t make history
C F
So I may never be what you assume

Don’t want your hooks or auto-tune

If I’m off-key then that’s alright with me

Oh and maybe you will learn this when I’m gone
My song will carry on
Bridge:
G
In my time here
Gm Gm
I wanna be revered and remembered
F
Oh let them say I came, I conquered

So I won’t fear
Gm Gm
And I can’t blend in

You can’t replace and you cannot erase me
Gm G F
Cause my song will play on beyond time
