(Capo 1st fret)
GC
It's funny how they shoot you down
GC
When your hands are held up high
GC
And you open up your heart and soul
GC
But that's not enough for most
Em
I remember this much
D
There is nothing
D/C
You shouldn't speak of
D/BD/A
If you've got something to say
D
And there's no one
D/C
To be scared of
D/BD/A
Just get them out of the way
GCD
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
GC
My heart is open wide
G D*
You can take anything that you want from me
AmD
there is nothing left to hide
GCD
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
GC
my hands are held up high
D* Am
I'm learning how to hit back
D7GC
I'm learning how to fight
G C (repeat)
GC
The law of the jungle says
GC
You look after yourself
GC
But I remember this much
GC
I love as I've been loved myself
D
Don't forget what I told you now
D/BD/C
When the question keeps on coming
D/A
And it's How much more can you take
DD/B
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
D/CD/A
Shouldn't you be gone by now
But you keep on
GCD
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
GC
Setting your sights for the sky
G D*
They can offer you anything at all
AmD
But your dreams must not be sold
GCD
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
GC
No price is high enough
D* Am
I'm fighting back with feeling
D7G
I'm fighting back with love
BmC
When the nails are biting into your hands
BmCBm
And the cross is heavy on your heart
CD
Now is the time to really make a stand
MY HANDS ARE HELD UP HIGH
(instrumental)
GCD
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
