G D D D G D D D G


        D
I will bend and I will sway.
         G
I will fight to stand up straight.
                A
When troubled winds blow my way,
          D    D D G
I won't break.

        D
I will hope and I will love.
        G
I will give 'til there's enough.
            A
That's the life I'm dreamin' of,
             D   D D D
I won't give up.

G
My head's spinnin' all around and round,
G                                           D
And the world keep tryin' to bring me down, oh.
G
I bought a ticket to the joy parade,
G                                            A   G  A *silent*
And I ain't jumpin' off of this happy train, oh.

          D
I will stumble, I will crawl.
         G
Bang my head against these walls
        A
In the end I won't have it all,
               D    
But I'll stand tall.

My head's spinnin' all around and round,
G                                           D
And the world keep tryin' to bring me down, oh.
G
I bought a ticket to the joy parade,
G                                            A   G  A *silent*
And I ain't jumpin' off of this happy train, oh.

        D
I will sing and I will shout.
           G
Let these words fly from my mouth,
            A
And I will live what this life's about,
            D    D D D
With or without.
        A
I will live what this life's about,
            D   D D D D D D
With or without.
