Roar (video)

G ~

G

1. I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath,

scared to rock the boat and make a mess,

Em C

so I sat quietly, agreed politely.

G

I guess that I forgot I had a choice,

I let you push me past the breaking point,

Em C

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything.

G

2. You held me down, but I got up, already brushing off the dust,

Em

you hear my voice, you hear that sound

C

like thunder, gonna shake your ground.

G

You held me down, but I got up,

Em

get ready ’cause I've had enough, I see it all, I see it now.

C G

I got the eye of the tiger, the fire, dancing through the fire,

Em C G

’cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar.

Louder, louder than a lion

Em C G

’cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar.

- Am - Em C G

Oh oh oh …. Oh oh oh ..... you're gonna hear me roar. - - -

G

3. Now I'm floatin' like a butterfly,

Em

stingin' like a bee I earned my stripes,

C

I went from zero, to my own hero.

G

4. You held me down, but I got up, already brushing off the dust,

Em

you hear my voice, you hear that sound

C

like thunder, gonna shake your ground.

G

You held me down, but I got up,

Em

get ready ’cause I've had enough, I see it all, I see it now.

- - - - - - - - - - - - G

I got the eye of the tiger, the fire, dancing through the fire,

Em C G

’cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar.

Louder, louder than a lion

Em C G

’cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar.

Oh oh oh …. Oh oh oh ..... you're gonna hear me roar.
