            Gm
I've got a stage and a mic
        Cm
Which I used to say
       D#         D
things you won't like
       Gm
But I spent years
                Cm  D# D
thinking I was alone
(Thinking I was alone)
       Gm
Now I know now I know
that I'm not that I'm not
    Cm
And I'm sharing that
D#             D
comfort with those
Gm
Who think that
        Cm  D# D
hope is lost

D#             A#
Oh and I'm so proud
of where I am
    D#
I'm learning where
to stand or to
      Gm
tread lightly

Chorus:
F A#      F 
So hold back
     Gm
Steadfast you've
              G 
gotta breathe
    Cm
And be content
just count to ten
     F
Like all the experts
        A#  F 
say and if
     Gm
The drugs don't
             G 
seem to work
             Cm
Then they've got a
padded room for you
   D#m
To get your just deserve

If I could choose my own name
I'd choose something that's bold and fits
Like anger, aggression, or cunningly brash
By the skin of my teeth
But with timing and class
Oh, woe is me
Oh, woe are us
Not anymore, we stand up for ourselves
We're like captains at war
Who'll get followed to Hell

Oh, and I'm so proud of where I am
I'm learning where to stand or to tread lightly

Chorus

               A#
I and I, we're taking
control of our lives
       F        F
I and I, we're taking
control of our lives
       D       Gm
I and I, we're taking
control of our lives
             D#
Everything's alright
                A#
I and I, we're taking
control of our lives
      Cm        F
I and I, we're taking
control of our lives
       D        Gm
I and I, we're taking
control of our lives
             D#       D#
Everything's alright, So
