[C] [C] [E7] [Am] [Am] [F] [C] [C] [E7] [Am] [Am] [F] [C]

[C]well the aut[E7]horities called me [Am]up, and said "you[F] may well end u[C]p in prison,"
i said [E7]"i may well, but[Am] you know i'll [F]run away before then."
t[C]hey said "[E7] ;you know we'll catch yo[Am]u," i said, [F]"nah, you wouldn't[C] know where to start,
you may [E7]well put me in [Am]prison, but you won't [F]ever touch my [C]heart."
my [C]heart, my heart, [E7]my h[Am]eart, my heaart, [F]my [C]heart, my heart, [E7]my h[Am]eart, my heart, [F]my [C]heart.

[C] [C] [E7] [Am] [Am] [F] [C] [C] [E7] [Am] [Am] [F] [C]

[C]they say that [E7]kids my age [Am]think that they're in[F]vincible,
well [C]that seems [E7]foolish, but i still [Am]know i'll never [F]die,
and it seems[C] to be inv[E7]incible [Am]all you've got to [F]do is stay [C]alive,
and i can [E7]do that on my [Am]own terms, stay out the [F]conversation,

[intro twice more]

[on this next part your strum the 1st C and let it ring and then hit it again so it stops]

[C]because your laws mean [C]shit to me,
they're just [C]arbirtrary guidelines of abso[C]lutist ideology,
and it se[C]ems to me when you're the ones out [C]killing in the streets,
you've [C]got no right to tell me what to [C]do if i wanna be [C]free.[C] [E7] [Am]
because i'm[Am] not your [F]propert[C]y. [C] [E7] [Am]
na[Am]h, i [F]belong to [C]me.

[C]they say my [E7]generation [Am]don't stand up for [F]what we believe in,
[C]i think it's [E7]all cuz we've been [Am]told just what to [F]do right from the [C]start,
don't break the [E7]guidelines given[Am] , believe in [F]television,
[C]well we still [E7]know what we b[Am]elieve when it comes [F]pouring out our [C]hearts.

[("our hearts") over intro twice to end]
