Verse 2:
C#m
If I could chose
my own name
F#m
I'd chose something
A G#
that's bold and fits
C#m
Like anger aggression
or cunningly brash
F#m
By the skin of my teeth
A G#
but with timing and class
C#m
Oh woe is me (Oh woe is me)
F#m A G#
Oh woe were us (Oh woe were us)

But not anymore we stand
up for ourselves
