[Verse 1]
G5
I stand up for my pride
G5
I don't want to be just like anyone
G5
In this world I cannot hide
G5
I must finish what I have begun
C Am D
That's the way I play
G5
In the modern day
C Am D
Because I want to stay
G5
In the modern day
G5
Got a picture in my mind
G5
Of the way that I wanna be
G5
So I search until I find
G5
The power inside of me
C Am D
It's another phase
G5
Of the modern day
[Chorus]

Got to face up to this life

Can't let it get the best of me
D C G
So I make a sacrifice
D C G5
If that's the way it has to be
