Tuning: D# G# C# F# A# D#

Original Song is in Drop A# Tuning The ** in the Verse shows a little alternative for acoustic guitar, since plainly playing B5 without any drums/bass whatsoever gets really boring quickly. Therefore this is for an additional A5 double stroke that you can throw in there on an acoustic guitar if you want to make it sound less bland. The Em* is actually not played in the original and left silent. [Verse 1] B5 ** Is this better, tell me that's a better way B5 ** I'm not afraid, I'm not gonna hide from the B5 ** Vultures above, serpents below

^B5They wanna laid me to rest, but I won't go ** B5 Yeah B5 ** Is it better to die than live another day? B5 ** I'm not afraid, I'm not gonna run from the B5 ** Scars held within, burning the skin ^B5They wanna laid me to rest, but I won't go ** B5 Yeah, I won't go

[Chorus]

I wanna st^Cand up, a hundred feet t^Dall 'Cause f^Emear will never lead my w^Gay I'm ready to r^Cun, a hundred miles str^Doll ^EmI will never be the s^Game W^Caking the l^Dions in m^Eme I'm waking the l^Gions in me C D Em* Waking the lions in me

Waking the lions in me [Interlude] B5 ** [Verse 2] B5 ** Beneath the ash I'm dying 'til I'll rise again B5 ** I'm not afraid, I'm not gonna stop till B5 ** I'll break down this cage, escape from these chains

^B5You'll never silence my voice, no, I won't go B5 ** No, I won't go

[Chorus]

Waking the lions in me [Bridge]

^CFor w^Day too l^Emong ^GI slept inside the dark ^CBut n^Dow I r^Emise ^GIt's time to make a mark ^CWaking the l^Dions in m^Eme Waking the li^Gons in me W^Caking the li^Dons in m^Eme

[Acapella Chorus]

N.C.

I wanna stand up, a hundred feet tall

N.C.

'Cause fear will never lead my way

N.C.

I'm ready to run, a hundred miles stroll

N.C.

I will never be the same

[Chorus]

I'm waking the lions in me
