Sister Act - The life i never led

^Dsus4I've never talked ^Dback, ^Dsus2I've never slept l^Date, ^Dsus4I've never sat dow^Dn ^Dsus2when told to stand^D straight ^Gmaj7I've never let go ^F#m7and gone with the ^Bm7flow, ^E7sus4and don't even ^E7know, really, ^Asus4why. ^A7

^Dsus4I've never asked q^Duestions, ^Dsus2or taken a dare. ^{D Dsus4}I've never worn cl^Dothes ^Dsus2that might make pe^Dople stare. ^Gmaj7I've never rebelled, ^F#m7or stood up and ye^Bm7lled, ^Cmaj7or even just held my head hi^A7sus4gh. ^A7

^F#m7And all of the ^Bm7feelings ^Em7unspo^A7ken, ^F#7sus4all of the ^F#7truths ^Gmaj7unsaid, ^Em7they're all I have ^D/F#left ^Bbmaj7of the life I ^A7sus4never led.

^Dsus4I've never gone su^Drfing, ^Dsus2Or ran with a crow^Dd, ^Dsus4Or danced on a tab^Dle ^Dsus2Or laughed much to^Do loud ^Gmaj7I've never quite dared ^F#m7to leave myself ba^Bm7red - ^E7sus4I've just been ^E7too scared I m^Asus4ight fa^A7ll.

^Dsus4I've never seen Pa^Dris, ^Dsus2swum naked, been k^Dissed. ^Dsus4I've never quite r^Dealised ^Dsus2just how much I've^D missed. ^Gmaj7And what did I get, ^F#m7for hedging each b^Bm7et? ^Cmaj7Another regret, and that's a^A7sus4ll. ^A7

^F#m7And all of the ^Bm7wishes un^Em7asked^A7 for, ^F#7sus4All of the ^F#7needs u^Gmaj7nfed - ^Em7They're all that re^D/F#main ^Bbmaj7of the life I ^A7sus4never led.

^F#mAnd now... ^Gadd9now that you've given me ^F#m/Aone little taste of it ^Bm7- And ^E7sus4now... ^{E7 A7sus}now that I ^A7know what I ^Dsus2know -^{D Dsus4 D} Well ^Bmhow... ^F#/Ahow can I go on ig^D/Anoring the waste of it^G#m7? After ^F#m7all of the years that I've ^Bm5clung to my ^Bm7fears. Won't you ^Cadd9help me let go? ^Gm/Bb Help me let ^A7sus4go! ^A

^Dsus4I want to be brave^D, ^Dsus2I want to be stron^Dg. ^Dsus4I want to believe ^{D Dsus2}I'm where I belong^D. ^Gmaj7To stand up and say ^Dadd4/F#"I'm seizing the ^Bm7day" To ^E7sus4not just ^E7obey, but to ^Asus4choose. ^C7sus4

^Fsus4And I may not ^Fsurf, ^Fsus2I may not see ^FFrance. ^Fsus4but I have to ^Fknow ^Fsus2I still have t^Fhe chance. ^Bbmaj7And maybe I'll make ^Am7a painful mist^Dm7ake. ^Ebmaj7It's mine though, to take or re^C7sus4fuse. ^C7

^Am7And all of the ^Dm7doors yet to ^Gm7open, ^{C7 A7sus4}all of the ^A7rooms ^Bbmaj7ahead - ^Gm7They're beckoning ^Am7bright, ^Bbmaj7scary and ^Am7new - ^Gm7But I'm standing ^Am7tall, ^Dm7and I'm walking ^G7through. ^Bb/CWhat's gone may be ^Am7/Cgone, ^Bb/Cbut I won't go ^Am7/Con playing ^Am7dead! ^{C/D Gm7}It's time to start ^F/Aliving ^Dbmaj7the life I ^C7sus4never ^{C7 Fsus4}led. ^{F Fsus2 F Bbsus2/D Dm7 C7sus4 F}
