you've got It's (F7)time you started making to (Abmaj7)your own rules.

You've got to (Eb)scream until there's nothing left,

with (Bb)your last breath say, "Here I am,

here I (Abmaj7)am."

Make them listen 'cause (Eb)there's no way you'll be ignored,

not (Bb)anymore, say, "Here I am,

here I (Abmaj7)am."

Here I am,

ah, ah, ah.

Here I am,

ah, ah.

You only get one life to work it,

so who cares if it's not perfect,

say, "It's close enough to perer fect for me."

not (Bb)anymore, say, "Here I am,

here I (Abmaj7)am."

Here I am,

ah, ah, ah.

Here I am,

ah, ah.

You only get one
