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

So I say
B Em D          B Am G
No... to status quo...
     Em                   D
Who wants to be like the rest
             C                 D
And deny the best that I'm meant for?
     
       B Em D
I will show...
          B Am G
The status quo...
    Em            
Who cares about normal?
     D
I'll never conform
    C                                 D Em D
I will be content to resent the status quo...
D               G
I kick down the walls around me
Am                  Em       D
They don't know how strong I am
  D          G
I'm not defined by boundaries
 Am              B       C
They could never understand
 C           A  Dm C
I'm so much more...
             A Gm F
...Than status quo
   Dm  
Forget about being
C
Another pipe dreamer
Bb                D
Stuck on the bottom floor
      B Em D
And I know
          B Am G
It's time to go
              Em
So maybe I've gotten everything
        D
That I wanted but I think that
      C              D
I might have made it so
            C   B   Em     
When I said no, no, no
          G B C
To status quo...

A        D       E
I am a Starship Ranger
A         D           E
I'm gonna do everything I can
A               D        F#m
To always be a Starship Ranger
       D               D     Dm
It's everything, it's everything,
   A
I am!
