1 3    3  3    2  2      -1  -1   1  1
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath,

3      3  3    2   2    -1  -1   1 1
scared to rock the boat and make a mess.

1  1 -1  2   3  2__
So I sat qui-et-ly,

1 1     -1 2_3  2__
a&ndash;greed po-lite-ly.

1 3     3    3 2   2  -1 -1  1 1
I guess that I for-got I had a choice.

1 3   3   3    2  2    -1  -1    1   1
I let you push me past the break-ing point.

1 1     -1  2_3  2__
I stood for noth-ing,

1  1 1    -1  2   3  2_
So I fell for ev-&lsquo;ry thing.

1   3    -3 3     2   3 -3  3
You held me down, but I got up,

-3 3    3 2     2   3   -3  3
al-read-y brush-ing off the dust.

1   3    -3 3       1   3    -3   3_2
You hear my voice,  you hear that sound,

3    3    3    2   2  -1    1    1
like thun-der, gon-na shake your ground.

1   3    -3 3     2   3 -3  3
You held me down, but I got up.

-3  3    3   2     2    3   -3 3
Get read-y, &lsquo;cause I&rsquo;ve had e&ndash; nough.

2 3   -3 3_2  2 3   -3 3_2
I see it all, I see it now.

3 3   3   3   -3 4   4  -3   3 4    -3
I got the eye of the ti-ger, a fight-er

4    4   -3      3   4  -3   3     4 -3 3 4    -3
danc-ing through the fi-re, &lsquo;cause I am a cham-pion

3   4      -5  6  -5   -3_3 3_4  4    -3
and you&rsquo;re gon-na hear me__ roar loud-er,

4    4  -3   3 4  -3   3     4  -3 3 4    -3
loud-er than a li-on, &lsquo;cause I_ am a cham-pion

3   3   3     2   2   -1 -1  1   1
Now I&rsquo;m float-ing like a but&ndash;ter-fly,

3     3   3    2 2   -1 -1     1  1
sting-ing like a bee; I earned my stripes.

1  1  -1  2_3 2__
to my own he_-ro.
