[Intro]

C

[Verse 1]

C
Please give me a reason to believe all the lies
 
'Cause my teachers and the media are ghouls in disguise
G
Abusing their authority to proselytize
      F                                        C
But nothing they report to me could change my mind
 
I need a vacation from the way things have been
 
Because I'm growing impatient, yeah, it's boiling my skin
      G
Had enough manipulation, can you just let me live?
  F           C
Mmm, live my life

[Chorus]

         Am        G
I'm not gonna give in
      F        C              Am         G       F
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
        C            Am         G
Rather die than lay down on my back
    F                 G
Got no white flag to throw
                    G
This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo

[Verse 2]

C
Please give me a reason to give up on myself
 
You can tell me that it's treason, this is stand and rebel
          G
I won't pledge you my allegiance, I'll just bid you farewell
 F         C
Mmm, and goodbye

[Chorus]

         Am        G
I'm not gonna give in
      F        C               Am        G       F
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
        C            Am         G
Rather die than lay down on my back
    F                  G
Got no white flag to throw
                    G
This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo

[Bridge]

   C
I know that on the surface
    G
It might seem like I'm just fine
            Am
But I can’t eat, I barely sleep
               G
Sometimes, I wanna run and hide
               F
Feel like I'm dying in this cage
             Em
My soul is trapped, I feel confined
            F
And I just wish they’d let me out
              G
So I could finally live my life
   C
I know that on the surface
    G
It might seem like I'm just fine
            Am
But I can’t eat, I barely sleep
              G
Sometimes, I wanna run and hide
                F
Feel like I'm dying in this cage
             Em
My soul is trapped, I feel confined
            F
And I just wish they’d let me out
              G
So I could finally live my life

[Chorus]

         Am        G
I'm not gonna give in
      F       C                Am        G       F
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
        C       Am              G
Rather die than lay down on my back
    F                  G
Got no white flag to throw
          Am       G
I'm not gonna give in
      F        C               Am        G       F
If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life
        C            Am         G
Rather die than lay down on my back
    F                  G
Got no white flag to throw
                   G
This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo
