Verse 1:

C                                   G  F
 The higher you build your barriers;    the taller I become.
C                                    G  F
 The further you take my rights away;    the faster I will run.
G  Am               G  Bb               Am Dm        G    Am G
    You can deny me,    you can decide, to turn your face a -way.
No matter, 'cos there's...

Chorus 1:

C                     F      F/E
 Something inside, so strong;
  Dm                                              G         C
I know that I can make it, though you're doing me wrong, so wrong.
                              F            F/E
You thought that my pride was gone, oh, no;
Dm            G        Am      Em        F
 Something in-side, so strong, oh, oh oh oh oh oh,
             G        C
Something in-side, so strong.

Verse 2:

C
 The more you refuse to hear my voice,
                          G   F
(Ooh-weh ooh-weh, ooh-weh ooh-weh), the louder I will sing.
C
 You hide behind walls of Jericho,
                          G   F
(Ooh-weh ooh-weh, ooh-weh ooh-weh), your lies come tumbling.
G  Am             G  Bb                        Am     Dm
    Deny my place in time; you squander wealth that's mine;
   G     Am   G
My light will shine, so brightly, it will blind you, because there's...

Chorus 2:

C                     F      F/E
 Something inside, so strong;
  Dm                                              G         C
I know that I can make it, though you're doing me wrong, so wrong.
                              F            F/E
You thought that my pride was gone, oh, no;
Dm            G        Am      Em        F
 Something in-side, so strong, oh, oh oh oh oh oh,
             G        C
Something in-side, so strong.

Middle 8:

Bb                     F                                C
 Brothers and sisters; when they insist, we're just not good enough.
Bb                     F
 Well, we know better; just look him in his eyes and say;
G
 We're gonna do it anyway, we're gonna do it anyway.
                                                   (n.C)
We're gonna do it anyway, we're gonna do it anyway...
