E
Oh, my world is turning inside out
Say I'm crying, breaking up inside
See my heart is sinking to my knees
Tell me brother what is it you need?

I don't wanna be a pretender

I just wanna be me

Oh you’re blaming everybody else
Stop complaining and do it for yourself
Feed your body, your spirit and your mind
Oh my brother just enjoy the ride

I will never be a pretender
I'm just gonna be me

Chorus

E
Everybody's got a story to tell
             D
When you’re looking up at heaven
                               A
But you’re stuck in hell, come on
                          E
You gotta play, play the game

E
and the lights won't coming around
            D
you got a whole way ticket
                                 A
and you're holding it down, come on
          E
Play the game

Nobody's gonna carry you

Nobody
Nobody's gonna carry you
Play the game
Try harder
Get smarter
Dream bigger
Play the game
