Am    C    F    (F)          X2

[Verse 1]
Am           C    F         Am   C    F
Everything I ever knew came from you.
Am           C     F         Am    C    F
Everything I wanna be that's in me,
           Am     C    F
that comes from me.
Am    C    F
  Mmm
Am    C    F
  Mmm

[Verse 2]
Am           C        F
Open up your fist and let me out,
Am      C       F
  I was made to run around.
    Am              C     F
And let me feel the air beneath my feet,
       Am    C    F            Am    C    F
let me go.

[Chorus]
      Am            C           F
And I know not everybody gets a new life.
      Am            C            Em          F
And I know not everybody gets to start over again.
      Am               C             F
But I do know what I'm doing with my new life:
              Am           C              F
I'll build it up, break it down, build it up;
         Am           C        F
build it up, break it down,
         Am           C       F
build it up, break it down.

[Verse 3]
Am          C      F              Am    C    F
You can fly   away too, that's on   you,
          Am             C      F
but don't tell me what I cannot   do.
      Am                  C
I can tie on my shoes and put on my coat,
    F
I'm living a history, the one that I wrote.

[Chorus]
      Am            C           F
And I know not everybody gets a new life.
      Am            C            Em          F
And I know not everybody gets to start over again.
      Am               C             F
But I do know what I'm doing with my new life:
              Am           C              F
I'll build it up, break it down, build it up;
         Am           C              F
build it up, break it down, build it up.

[Bridge]
    Am           C    F
And everything I ever knew,
Am           C    F
everything I ever knew.

[Chorus]
      Am            C            Em          F
And I know not everybody gets to start over again (Everything I ever knew)
      Am               C             F
But I do know what I'm doing with my new life (Everything I ever knew)
         Am           C              F
Build it up, break it down, build it up (Ooh, everything I ever knew came from you)
        Am           C              F
Burn it up, break it down, build it up.

[Outro]
Am        C        F
Am
Am        C        F              Am     C    F
  You can fly away too, that's on you.
