F#          C#
When you lose yourself
G#             C# 
In a photograph
F#            C#     G#
And the room gets heavy
          C#            F# C# G#
Cuz you can’t go back to 16
     C#         F#            C# G#
To rainbow hair and ripped jeans

                   C#        F#  C#
To keep your head above the water
G#                    C#        F#   C#
Sometimes you had to hold your tongue

Chorus:
G#                           C#   G#
We’re all rebels when we’re young
                              F#
I think it’s time you let it go now
G#                           C#
When you get angry with yourself
 C#                       F#
And there ain’t no other road out
G#                            C#     G#   F#   G#
You blame the rebel that you sold out

And it's all exciting
You were so alive
Like a wheel in motion
You were terrified you'll lose it
Hell everybody loses

                      A#m
It was never how you wanted
                G#     F#
Now it’s never good enough

Chorus:
G#                           C#  G#
We’re all rebels when we’re young
                              F#
I think it’s time you let it go now
G#                           C#
When you get angry with yourself
G#                           F#
You blame the rebel that you sold out
G#                            C#
You blame the rebel that you sold out
          A#m    C#  F#
That you sold out

C#
Let go and be yourself right now
Let go and be yourself right now
Let go and be yourself right now
Let go and be yourself right now

F#               C#     G#
When you're all messed up
                C# 
And you don’t know why
F#      C#       G#            C#         F#
You’re rattling cages and the world just flies by
 C#           G#
Like you’re losing time
         C#      F#
But you can’t go back
    C#        G#
You can’t go back, no

Chorus:
G#                           C#  G#
We’re all rebels when we’re young
                              F#
I think it’s time you let it go now
G#                           C#
When you get angry with yourself
G#                            F#
You blame the rebel that you sold out
G#                            C#
You blame the rebel that you sold out

                             G#
You blame the rebel that you,
you blame the rebel that you
F#                            G#
You blame the rebel that you sold out, sold out
C#                             G#
You blame the rebel that you, you blame
the rebel that you
F#                            G#
You blame the rebel that you sold out, sold out
