Verse 1:
  B5
Believer
      D5
Your spotlight on the
G5          E5       G5 C5
subject so incorrect
       B5         D5
And suggestion suggests
         G5
that I'm someone you
       E5         G5 C5
should not respect
       B5                       D5 G5
Oh you wear your facade so well
        E5                   G5 C5
Covered up in a plastic shell
         B5      D5
You're a liar to everyone
 G5              E5          G5 C5
around you Just don't forget


Refrain:
B5       G5      E5   D5 G5
Face the honest truth
B5       G5     E5 D5
You were never you


Chorus 1:
G5         B5        G5
I'll be defiant the lion
              E5
Give them the fight that
     G5
will open their eyes
        B5
Hangman hooded softly
G5              E5
swinging Don't close the       
coffin yet I'm alive
B5 D5 G5         E5    G5   C5
      And it's homecoming
B5 D5 G5         E5    G5
      And it's homecoming


Verse 2:
C5         B5
Can you remember
     D5           G5
When there was no wrong
        E5        G5 C5
in what I could do
B5       D5
So young biting off
G5             E5
way more than I could
    G5 C5         B5
chew   And then one
                  D5 G5
day I grew too old
       E5
And my cares were
                  G5 C5
now theirs to mold
        B5
Please accept this
   D5       G5
as my resignation
     E5        G5 C5
It's time to go


(Repeat Refrain)


Chorus 2:
G5         B5        G5
I'll be defiant the lion
              E5
Give them the fight that
     G5
will open their eyes
        B5
Hangman hooded softly
G5              E5
swinging Don't close the       
coffin yet I'm alive


Interlude: B5 - F#5 - E5 - A- x4

G  C     G   C--
Oh  I'm alive


Bridge:
B5
  I will now bleed
             E5
for what I believe in
B5
  No more mistakes for
                 E5
them to make for me
   G5
So goodbye it's
E5          Bm(hold)
my time for me


Interlude: Bm--G--

      B5 G5 B5 - D5 - G5 - E5 - G5 - C- x2
being me


(Repeat Refrain)


Chorus 3:
G5         B5        G5
I'll be defiant the lion

Give them the fight that
     G5
will open their eyes
        B5
Hangman hooded softly
G5              E5
swinging Don't close the
                    B5 D5 G5 E5 G5    
coffin yet I'm alive
C5        B5 D5 G5 E5 G5
I'm alive
C5        B5 D5 G5 E5 G5
I'm alive
C5        B5 D5 G5 E5 G(hold)
I'm alive
