B5
I stand up for my pride
B5
I don't want to be just like anyone
B5
In this world I cannot hide
B5
I must finish what I have begun
E C#m F#
That's the way I play
B5
In the modern day
E C#m F#
Because I want to stay
B5
In the modern day
B5
Got a picture in my mind
B5
Of the way that I wanna be
B5
So I search until I find
B5
The power inside of me
E C#m F#
It's another phase
B5
Of the modern day
[Chorus]
F# E B
Got to face up to this life
F# E B
Can't let it get the best of me
F# E B
So I make a sacrifice
F# E B5
If that's the way it has to be

Like a motor in overdrive
