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
