Tone: [D]
Intro:
[D]
Verse 1:
[D]Please give me a reason to believe all the lies
'Cause my teachers and the media are ghouls in disguise
[A]Abusing their authority to proselytize
But no[G]nothing they report to me could change my m[D]mind
I need a vacation from the way things have been
Because I'm growing impatient, yeah, it's boiling my skin
Had en[A]enough manipulation, can you just let me live?
Mm[G]Mmm, live my l[D]life
Chorus:
I'm not g[Bm]gonna give [A]in
If I h[G]ave to fi[D]ght, then I'm w[Bm]illing to g[A]ive my l[G]ife
Rather d[D]ie than lay d[Bm]own on my b[A]ack
Got [G]no white f[D]flag to t[A]throw
This is my Alamo, th[A]this, this is my Alamo
Verse 2:
[D]Please give me a reason to give up on myself
You can tell me that it's treasonous to stand and rebel
I won't pl[A]pledge you my allegiance, I'll just bid you farewell
M[G]Mmm, and go[D]goodbye
Chorus:
I'm not g[Bm]gonna give [A]in
If I h[G]ave to fi[D]ght, then I'm wi[Bm]lling to g[A]ive my l[G]ife
Rather d[D]ie than lay d[Bm]own on my b[A]ack
Got [G]no white f[D]flag to th[A]throw
This is my Alamo, th[A]this, this is my Alamo
Bridge:
I k[D]know that on the surface
It m[A]might seem like I'm just fine
But I can’t [Bm]eat, I barely sleep
Sometimes, I wa[A]wanna run and hide
Feel like I'm d[G]dying in this cage
My soul is tr[Gbm]trapped, I feel confined
And I just w[G]wish they’d let me out
So I could fin[A]finally live my life
I k[D]know that on the surface
It m[A]might seem like I'm just fine
But I can’t [Bm]eat, I barely sleep
Sometimes, I w[A]wanna run and hide
Feel like I'm dy[G]dying in this cage
My soul is tr[Gbm]trapped, I feel confined
And I just w[G]wish they’d let me out
So I could fin[A]finally live my life
Chorus:
I'm not g[Bm]gonna give [A]in
If I h[G]ave to f[D]ight, then I'm wi[Bm]lling to g[A]ive my l[G]ife
Rather d[D]die than [Bm]lay down on my b[A]back
Got [G]no white flag to th[A]throw
I'm not go[Bm]gonna give [A]in
If I h[G]ave to fi[D]ght, then I'm wi[Bm]lling to g[A]ive my l[G]ife
Rather d[D]ie than lay d[Bm]own on my b[A]ack
Got [G]no white f[D]flag to th[A]throw
This is my Alamo, t[A]this, this is my Alamo
