I've got a stage and a mic

things you won't like
D#m
But I spent years
G#m Cb A#
thinking I was alone
(Thinking I was alone)
D#m
Now I know now I know
that I'm not that I'm not
G#m
And I'm sharing that
Cb A#
comfort with those
D#m
Who think that
G#m Cb D(hold)
hope is lost
Refrain:
Cb Gb
Oh and I'm so proud
of where I am
Cb
I'm learning where
to stand or to
D#m C#
tread lightly so
Chorus 1:
Gb C#/F
hold back
D#m
Steadfast you've
D#/G
gotta breathe
G#m
And be content
just count to ten
C#
Like all the experts

say and if
D#m
The drugs don't
D#/G
seem to work
G#m
Then they've got a
padded room for you
Cbm
To get your just deserve
Post Chorus: Gm-C-Eb-D- x2
Verse 2:
D#m
If I could chose
my own name
G#m
I'd chose something
Cb A#
that's bold and fits
D#m
Like anger aggression
or cunningly brash
G#m
By the skin of my teeth
Cb A#
but with timing and class
D#m
Oh woe is me (Oh woe is me)
G#m Cb A#
Oh woe were us (Oh woe were us)
D#m
But not anymore we stand
up for ourselves
G#m
We're like captains at war
Cb D(hold)
we'll get followed to hell
(Repeat Refrain)
