VERSE 1
Am                  F                                     G
It starts with not questioning the answers
Am       F                    Em
And giving up before you've begun
Am                  F                    G
It locks all the doors, increases the pressure
Am                         F              C
And in a flash your time is up before it's done
Am                   F
And you won't know
C
How it can feel
G
To feel at all

CHORUS
             Am F C                  G    F   Am
So I say no oh oh to status quo oh oh
F                         C
Who wants to be like the rest
       G
And deny the best that I'm meant for?

         Am   F   C                   G     F   Am
I will show oh oh the status quo oh oh
        F                        Am
Who cares about normal? I'll never conform
       C               G                              Em  Am G
I will be content to resent the status quo oh oh

VERSE 2
Am                    F
I kick down the walls around me
C                     G
They don't know how strong I am
Am                F 
I'm not defined by boundaries
C                          G          F
They could never understand
                         
CHORUS
                    Am    F    C
I'm so much more-or-or
                   G     F   Am
Than status quo oh oh
F                             C                       G
Forget about being another pipe dreamer stuck on the bottom floor

         Am    F   C
And I know oh oh
                  G   F  Am
It's time to go oh oh
             F                              Am                                      C
So maybe I've gotten everything that I wanted but I think that
             G
I might have made it so
                  Am  G   F
When I said no, no, no
               C     Em  F
To status quo oh oh
