[INTRO]
[E7]

[VERSE 1]
[E7]"Write what you know", So they say, all I know is
I don'[A(add4)/E]t know what to write or the right way to write it.
This is [E7]big, lady, don't screw it up,
This is not some little va[A]udev[F#m]ille I[D]'m[C#m] rev[F#m7]iewin[B7]g.

P[E7]oor little kids versus rich greedy sour pusses
[A/E]Ha! It's a cinch! It could practically write itself-
And l[E7]et's pray it does, cause as I may have mentioned,
I have n[A]o [F#m]clue w[D]hat [C#m]I'm [F#m]doin[D#m7b5]g.

[Ab7]Am I insane? This is what I've been waiting for.
Well [Db/Ab]that, plus the screaming of ten angry editors.
"A g[Ab7]irl?" "It's a girl!" "How the hell?" "Is that even legal?"
"[Db]Look,[Bbm] just[Gb] go[Fm] and[Bbm7] get her!"

[Ab7]Not only that, there's a story behind the story:
[Db/Ab]Thousands of children, exploited, invisible.
Speak [B7]up, take a stand, and there's someone to write about it.
[E7sus]That's how things get b[E7]etter.

[BREAK]
G[A]ive life's little guys some [E7sus]ink,
And when it dries just wa[D]tch what happens.
Those [Dsus2]kids will l[E]ive and br[A]eathe right on the page
And [E7sus]once they're center stage, you wa[D]tch what happens.
And [Dsus2]who's there w[E]ith her [F#m]camera and her pen
As b[G]oys turn into men?
They'll s[Em7]torm the gates and then
Just wa[E]tch what [D/E]happens w[E]hen they [A5]do. [Dsus2]

[VERSE 2]
[E7]Picture a handsome, heroically charismatic-
[A(add4)/E]Plain spoken, know nothing, skirt-chasing, cocky little [E7]son of a-
Lie down with dogs and you wake up with a ra[A]ise [F#m]and [D]a [C#m]prom[F#m7]otion[B7] .
[E7]So, he's a flirt, a complete ego maniac.
The [A/E]fact is he's also the face of the strike-
What a f[E7]ace- face the fact,
That's a face that could save us all from s[A]in[F#m]king [D]in[C#m] the[F#m] oce[D#m7b5]an.

[Ab7]Like someone said, "Power tends to corrupt"
And abso[Db/Ab]lute power, wait! Wait, corrupts!?
Absolutely, that is g[Ab7]enius!
But give me some time, I'll be twice as good as t[Db]hat [Bbm]six m[Gb]onths f[Fm]rom [Bbm7]never.

[Ab7]Just look around at the world we're inheriting
And [Db/Ab]think of the one we'll create.
Their mistake is they got [B7]old, that is not a mistake we'll be making.
No sir, [E7sus]we'll stay young for[E7]ever!

[BREAK]
G[A]ive those kids and me the [E7sus]brand new century and w[D]atch what happens.
It's[Dsus2] David a[E]nd Go[A]liath, do or die! The [E7sus]fight is on,
And I can't wa[D]tch what happens.
But[Dsus2] all I k[E]now is [F#m]nothing happens if you j[G]ust give in.
It [F#m]can't be any worse than h[G]ow it's been.

[ENDING]
And it j[A5]ust so h[A5/G#]appens that we [A5/G]just might w[D/F#]in,
[Dm/F]So wha[E7sus]tever happens!
Let's be[A5]gin! [Bm7] [E7sus] [A]
