A
Back and forth inside my mind
        D
Like an old porch swing goes side to side
   F#m             E
My head don’t know where to go

    A
I’m trying to find where I belong
  D
I feel it lies inside a song
       F#m            E
‘Cause my heart knows where to go

[Refrain]
F#m
Like a melody
   E
It sings to me

[Chords]
A
You can say, you can say what you want to
D                                      F#m
You can do, you can do what you really love
       E
To the beat, to the beat of your own drum

A
You can feel, you can feel what you want to
D                                          F#m
You can walk to the rhythm that lights you up
       Bm                   D
To the beat, to the beat of your own drum

[Verse 2]
A
If you wanna join the cheerlead squad
D                                            F#m
And date the star football heartthrob with a promise ring
E
Do your thing

A
Or if you wanna write your life in a song
D
And play onstage while the crowd sings along
F#m
Let it ring
       E
‘Cause that’s your thing

[Refrain]
F#m
It’s a melody
E
We all sing

[Chorus]
A
You can say, you can say what you want to
D                                      F#m
You can do, you can do what you really love
       E
To the beat, to the beat of your own drum

A
You can feel, you can feel what you want to
D                                          F#m
You can walk to the rhythm that lights you up
       Bm                   D
To the beat, to the beat of your own drum

[Bridge]
A
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
D
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
F#m
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
E
Of your own drum
A
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
D
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
F#m
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
E
Yeah

[Chorus]
A
You can say, you can say what you want to
D                                      F#m
You can do, you can do what you really love
       E
To the beat, to the beat of your own drum

A
You can say, you can say what you want to
D                                      F#m
You can do, you can do what you really love
       E
To the beat, to the beat of your own drum

A
You can feel, you can feel what you want to
D                                          F#m
You can walk to the rhythm that lights you up
       Bm                   D
To the beat, to the beat of your own drum
