I wish that I had courage,

But I will use my words as tools,

I am more than I was.

Am G F
But I have these stupid songs I have to sing,
Am C G F
And I'm making the choice to not fuck up everything.
Am G F
And my father’s words they always stuck with me,

Be who you want to be and sing what you want to sing,
Am G F
Be who you want to be and sing what you want to sing,
Am G F
Be who you want to be and sing what you want to sing.
