Intro: D F#m
D
Define me with all your words
F#m D
Then find me a lesson to be learned
F#m
Try to brand me or burn me and I won't let it hurt me
D
Define me as what I am
F#m
Then try me as just a simple man
D F#m
Iâ''m no harm to you, Iâ''m just doing the best I can
D
And if Iâ''m defined by what I do
F#m
Then what am I supposed to call you
G D A
The shadow of a broken past you abused
D
And if I can stand on my two feet
F#m
Iâ''ll break the wall where we will meet
G D A
Iâ''ll document our combination for you
D
Weâ''re starting this party tonight
F#m
Where people will be undefined
G
And love who they want, when the judgment is done
D A
And wonâ''t have to hide
D
Weâ''re starting this party right now
F#m
Where people can shake off their doubts
G
And send out their love as it moves through the crowd
D A
And people can shout
D
That they love a man
F#m
Or they love a woman
G
And no one will be judged for love
D A
And I canâ''t be judged for who I am
D
Define me with broad clichés
F#m
But I wonâ''t undergo any hate for a strangerâ''s mistakes
G
Iâ''ve struggled through the boundaries of societyâ''s needs
A
And now Iâ''m not trying to please, itâ''s freeing
D
Define me as Godâ''s child
F#m
I am human and weâ''re all in the wild
G
This Earth is as much mine as yours in the end
A
So letâ''s unite as friends
D
But if I can lie in natureâ''s bed
F#m
Without the roses killing me dead
G
I think the Earth has got a point
D A
And weâ''re a moving joint
D
And if I can say my prayers at night
F#m
I think Iâ''m doing something right
G
Letâ''s open up a song of safety
A
And carry through the night
D
Weâ''re starting this party tonight
F#m
Where people will be undefined
G
And love who they want, when the judgment is done
D A
And wonâ''t have to hide
D
Weâ''re starting this party right here
F#m
Where people will shake off their fears
G
And mass tolerance is replaced with resistance
A
And everyone cheers
D
That they love a man
F#m
Or they love a woman
G
And no one will be judged for love
D A
And I canâ''t be judged for who I am
D
That they love a man, (we're starting this party tonight)
F#m
Or they love a woman, (where people will be undefined)
G
And no one will be judged for love, (love who they want)
D A D F#m D F#m D F#m
And I canâ''t be judged for who I am
