Am Dm Am Dm
[VERSE]
Am
When you climb the hill of vision
Dm
As above so it was below
Am
Through the apathy and derision
Dm
Each step ascending you took alone
F
And when they pin you in the corner
Em
Pay no heed to their droning on
Dm
'Cause you're not going back where you don't belong
[INTERLUDE]
Am Dm Am Dm
[VERSE]
Am
Well you rose up through the ranks now
Dm
And you worked hard for your luck
Am
You've only got yourself to thank now
Dm
You and everybody else in the book
F
And there are hidden hands to guide you
Em
Of the forces now at play
Dm
But you've got to learn to get out of the way
[INTERLUDE]
Am Dm Am Dm

Oh no, don't settle

Am Dm Am Dm
[VERSE]
Am
May your song ring true and bright now
Dm
And behold by your old man
Am
As the day gives way to night now
Dm
May it echo through the land
F
And when they turn your words against you
Em
Try to grind you to the ground
Dm
Let them know that they might beat you
But they'll never turn you around
[CHORUS]

[VERSE]
Am
Well you sought no one's allegiance
Dm
You're a coward by no one's hand
Am
You outgrew your antecedents
Dm
Worked your own corner of the land
F
And when they set their sight upon you
Em
Come to mine the seam you struck
Dm
May you bid them well and wish them luck
