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 C
And you won't know how it can feel
G
To feel at all
CHORUS
Am F C G F Am
So I say no-o-o to status quo-o-o
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 wil show-o-ow the status quo-o-o
F Am
Who wants to be normal I'll never conform
C G Em Am G
I will be content to resent the status quo-o-o
VERSE 2
Am F

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 G F Am
I'm so much more-o-ore than status quo-o-o
F C G
Who cares about being another pipe dreamer stuck on the bottome floor
[key change]
Bm A D A Em Bm
And I know-o-ow it's time to go-o-o
Bm D
so maybe I've gotten everything that I wanted
Em A
But I think that I might have made it so
Bm A Em
When I said no no no
D A7 Bm
To status quo-o-o-o
[ G D ] [ A ] [ E ]

Cause I am a starship ranger

Cause it's everything, it's everything

I Am!
