Alamo Chords & Lyrics - Alec Benjamin

[INTRO]
[D]

[VERSE 1]
[D]Please give me a reason to believe all the lies

'Cause my teachers and the media are ghouls in disguise
[A]Abusing their authority to proselytize
But no[G]thing they report to me could change my m[D]ind

I need a vacation from the way things have been

Because I'm growing impatient, yeah, it's boiling my skin
Had en[A]ough manipulation, can you just let me live?
Mm[G]m, live my l[D]ife

[CHORUS]
I'm not g[Bm]onna give [A]in
If I h[G]ave to fi[D]ght, then I'm w[Bm]illing to g[A]ive my l[G]ife
Rather d[D]ie than lay d[Bm]own on my b[A]ack
Got [G]no white f[D]lag to t[A]hrow
This is my Alamo, th[A]is, this is my Alamo

[VERSE 2]
[D]Please give me a reason to give up on myself

You can tell me that it's treason, this is stand and rebel
I won't pl[A]edge you my allegiance, I'll just bid you farewell
M[G]mm, and go[D]odbye

[CHORUS]
I'm not g[Bm]onna give [A]in
If I h[G]ave to fi[D]ght, then I'm wi[Bm]lling to g[A]ive my l[G]ife
Rather d[D]ie than lay d[Bm]own on my b[A]ack
Got [G]no white f[D]lag to th[A]row
This is my Alamo, th[A]is, this is my Alamo

[BRIDGE]
I k[D]now that on the surface
It m[A]ight seem like I'm just fine
But I can’t [Bm]eat, I barely sleep
Sometimes, I wa[A]nna run and hide
Feel like I'm d[G]ying in this cage
My soul is tr[F#m]apped, I feel confined
And I just w[G]ish they’d let me out
So I could fin[A]ally live my life
I k[D]now that on the surface
It m[A]ight seem like I'm just fine
But I can’t [Bm]eat, I barely sleep
Sometimes, I w[A]anna run and hide
Feel like I'm dy[G]ing in this cage
My soul is tr[F#m]apped, I feel confined
And I just w[G]ish they’d let me out
So I could fin[A]ally live my life

[CHORUS]
I'm not g[Bm]onna give [A]in
If I h[G]ave to f[D]ight, then I'm wi[Bm]lling to g[A]ive my l[G]ife
Rather d[D]ie than [Bm]lay down on my b[A]ack
Got [G]no white flag to th[A]row
I'm not go[Bm]nna give [A]in
If I h[G]ave to fi[D]ght, then I'm wi[Bm]lling to g[A]ive my l[G]ife
Rather d[D]ie than lay d[Bm]own on my b[A]ack
Got [G]no white f[D]lag to th[A]row
This is my Alamo, t[A]his, this is my Alamo
