Believer

(Am)First things first, I'ma say all the words inside my (F)head.

I'm fired up and (G#dim)tired of the way that things have (Am)been.

Oh, ooh, the way that things have (F)been.

Oh, ooh.

(Am)Second things second, don't you tell me what you think that I can (F)be.

I'm the one at the (G#dim)sail,

I'm the master of my (Am)sea.

Oh, ooh, the master of my (F)sea.

Oh, ooh.

(G#dim)I was (Am)broken from a young age,

taking my sulking to the masses,

writing my (F)poems for the few that look at me,

(G#dim)took to me, shook to me,

feeling me singing from (Am)heartache, from the pain,

taking my message from the veins,

speaking my (F)lesson from the brain,

seeing the (G#dim)beauty through the...

(Am)pain. You made me a, you made me a (F)believer,

(E)believer.

(Am)Pain. You break me down, you build me up.

(F)Believer, (E)believer.

(Am)Pain. Oh, let the bullets fly,

oh, let them (F)rain.

My (G#dim)life, my love, my drive,

they came from...

(Am)pain. You made me a, you made me a (F)believer,

(E)believer. (Am)Third things third, send a prayer to the ones re up (F)above,

all the hate that you've (G#dim)heard has turned your spirit to a (Am)dove.

Oh, ooh, your spirit up (F)above.

Oh, ooh.

(G#dim)I was (Am)choking in the crowd,

living my brain up in the cloud,

falling like (F)ashes to the ground,

hoping my (G#dim)feelings, they would drown.

But they (Am)never did, ever lived,

ebbing and flowing, inhibited, limited, 'til it broke up and it (F)rained down,

it rained (G#dim)down

like... (Am)pain.

You made me a, you made me a (F)believer,

(E)believer.
