[INTRO]
(Piano Only)
Am Dm Am Dm

[VERSE]
          Am
When you climb the hill of vision
     Dm
As above so it was below
               Am
Through the apathy and derision
              Dm
Each step ascending you took alone
                F
And when they pin you in the corner
         Em
Pay no heed to their droning on
               Dm
'Cause you're not going back where you don't belong

[INTERLUDE]
Am Dm Am Dm

[VERSE]
          Am
Well you rose up through the ranks now
         Dm
And you worked hard for your luck
             Am
You've only got yourself to thank now
             Dm
You and everybody else in the book
               F
And there are hidden hands to guide you
     Em
Of the forces now at play
           Dm
But you've got to learn to get out of the way

[INTERLUDE]

[CHORUS]
   C       Dm
Oh no, don't settle

Oh-oh, not yet
   C          Dm
Oh-oh, don't settle
C          Dm
 For less

Am Dm Am Dm

[VERSE]
         Am
May your song ring true and bright now
     Dm
And behold by your old man
        Am
As the day gives way to night now
        Dm
May it echo through the land
              F
And when they turn your words against you
        Em
Try to grind you to the ground
          Dm
Let them know that they might beat you

But they'll never turn you around

[VERSE]
          Am
Well you sought no one's allegiance
          Dm
You're a coward by no one's hand
      Am
You outgrew your antecedents
               Dm
Worked your own corner of the land
               F
And when they set their sight upon you
         Em
Come to mine the seam you struck
        Dm
May you bid them well and wish them luck
