Em          C
Whoa oh, oh oh
    G          D
Aha lu ooh-ooh ooh

[Verse 1]
Em                 C
   So little did I know
                G
That there′s no turning back
                          D    
Once you've committed the crime
Em                     C
   Oh how far I had to go
          G                                  D
Too bad I never saw the warning signs in her eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
            Em
Trying to escape, better yet disappear
                C
From the person staring at me in the mirror
                 G                                 D
′Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day
              Em
And I tried relentlessly to keep her here
                  C
But she wants the end for us both to be near
                G
Now it's either her or me
                   D
Only one of us can stay

[Chorus]
                         Em
So let this be my battle cry
                           C
'Cause I′m fighting for my life
                       G
And I won′t stop until I've
                         D
Made my way back to safe haven
                  Em
No need for an alibi
                               C
When it′s just me, myself, and I
                        G                           D
But this time I'm gonna rise up and find myself liberated

Whoa oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
Em
Let go let go, loosen up your chokehold
        C
I can′t breathe when you keep me in your grip
G
Who would have known my very own shadow
            D
Would reach out its foot hoping that I trip
                   Em
Kick me when I'm already down
                            C
Then just leave me there on the ground dying
G
Alone alone ′Til you want one more go
      D
And I brace myself to do it again

[Pre-Chorus]
            Em
Trying to escape, better yet disappear
                C
From the person staring at me in the mirror
                 G                                 D
′Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day
              Em
And I tried relentlessly to keep her here
                  C
But she wants the end for us both to be near
                G
Now it's either her or me
                   D
Only one of us can stay

[Chorus]
                         Em
So let this be my battle cry
                           C
'Cause I′m fighting for my life
                       G
And I won′t stop until I've
                         D
Made my way back to safe haven
                  Em
No need for an alibi
                               C
When it′s just me, myself, and I
                        G                           D
But this time I'm gonna rise up and find myself liberated
              Em
Whoa oh oh oh

[Outro]
C             G                  D
  Rise up liberated, ooh ooh-ooh ooh
            Em             C
Rise up liberated, ooh ooh-ooh
C             G              D
  Rise up liberated, ooh ooh-ooh
                Em
Wha-ah ah ah ah ah
