[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am
Why do you keep on staring
C
That mirror, mirror, it ain't fair at all
F Am
Dress sizes can't define, don't let the world decide what's beautiful
G
No
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
You won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules
C
History gets made when you're acting a fool
F
So don't hold it back and just run it, show what you got and just own it
Am G
No, they can't tear you apart
[Chorus]
C G
If you trust your rebel heart, ride it into battle
Am F
Don't be afraid, take the road less traveled
C G
Wear out your boots and kick up the gravel
Am F C
Don't be afraid, take the road less traveled on
G Am
Oh ooh-whoa, oh ooh-whoa
F
Take the road less traveled on
[Verse]
Am
Don't follow anyone
C
March to the rhythm of a different drum
F Am
Why do we analyze, break out, and criticize the crazy ones
G
Oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
You won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules

History gets made when you're acting a fool

So don't hold it back and just run it, show what you got and just own it

No, they can't tear you apart
[Chorus]
C G
If you trust your rebel heart, ride it into battle

Am C F
Put your hands up, show me that you're one of a kind
Am C F
Put your hands up, let me hear your voice tonight
G
Oh
[Chorus]
C G
If you trust your rebel heart, ride it into battle
Am F
Don't be afraid, take the road less traveled
C G
Wear out your boots and kick up the gravel
Am F
Don't be afraid, take the road less traveled on

[Intro]
G
[Verse]
Em
It's a battleground
G
Everywhere you go, there's something trying to take you down
Em
So hard to stand up when they're kicking you around
G
Putting your fire out, putting it out, hey hey
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
But I'm not scared and I'm not shaking
G
Yeah I've got armor and they can't break it
[Chorus]
C
'Cause you kiss me back together when I'm falling apart
G
When the music's gone, I'm dancing to the beat of your heart
Em D
You're the breath in my lungs when the gravity's pulling me under
C
I could win any war
G
I could face any storm
Em
Yeah, I could conquer the world
D
With just one hand
G
As long as you're holding the other
[Verse]
Em
Saving grace
G
Baby, you're the hope I find behind my mistakes
Em
Hold me close and I'll forget about the pain
G
You take it all away, you take it away, yes you do
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
So I'm not scared of what tomorrow brings
G
'Cause you're right here and I can do anything
[Chorus]
C
'Cause you kiss me back together when I'm falling apart
G
When the music's gone, I'm dancing to the beat of your heart

I could win any war

As long as you're holding the other, holding the other
[Bridge]

I can do anything, anything, oh
C
'Cause you kiss me back together when I'm falling apart
G
Apart, apart
[Chorus]
C
Oh, I could win any war
G
And I could face any storm
Em
Yeah, I could conquer the world
D
Conquer the world, conquer the world, conquer the world
C
'Cause you kiss me back together when I'm falling apart
G
When the music's gone, I'm dancing to the beat of your heart
