Jeff Williams - This life is mine

^C#mMirror, can you ^A#m7hear me? ^EmDo I, reach ^Dmyou? ^{G# C#m}Are you, even li^A#m7stening? ^EmCan I, get t^F#hrough?

There’s a ^Bmpart of me that’s d^F#mesperate for c^Emhanges ^{F# Bm}Tired of being ^F#mtreated like a ^Cpawn

But there’s a ^Bmpart of me that s^Atares back, from i^G#mnside the m^Girror ^EmPart of me that’s scared I might be ^F#wrong, that I c^Aan’t be ^G#strong...

^C#mOoh, ooooh, oooh oooh ^A#m7ooh oooooooooh, ^Emooh ooh, oo^Dmoooh, o^G#ooh

^C#mI’ve been af^Braid, never ^Astanding on my ^Bown ^C#mI let you be the ^Bkeeper of my ^A#m7pride ^A

^C#mBelieved you when you ^Btold me I was ^A#m7nothing on my o^Awn ^G#Listen when I say, I s^Awear it here t^G#oday, ^D#5I will not surrender this l^G#ife is ^C#mmine!

^C#mAmazing how you conquered me, chanined me in servility and ^A#m7made me see The ^Emworld the way you told me to, but I was young and didn’t have a ^Dmway to know the ^G#truth

^C#mBorn to live your legcacy, existing just to fill your needs, a c^A#m7asualty ^EmOf this so-called “family” that you have turned into a trav^F#esty

But I ^Bmdon’t intend to ^F#msuffer any ^Emlonger ^{F# Bm}Here’s where your ^F#mdominion falls a^Cpart

I’m ^Bmshattering the ^Amirror, that ^G#mkept me split in ^Gpieces That ^Emstood between my mind and my h^F#eart, this is w^Ahere I’ll s^G#tart

^C#mI’m not your ^Bpet, not an^Aother thing you o^Bwn ^C#mI was not born ^Bguilty of your ^A#m7crimes ^A

Your ^C#mriches and you ^Binfluence can’t ^A#m7hold me any^Amore ^G#I won’t be possessed, burdened ^Aby your royal ^G#test, ^D#5I will not surender this ^G#life is

N.C.
