F                 Am        G
I stand my ground in stormy weather
F                 Am                 G
We're picking up the pieces that we dropped along the way
F                 Am          G
We rise and fight and fall together
F             Am             G
Anything to forget the problems of yesterday

F             G             Am
Whatever they say is not only
         C  
Not the only way I know
F             G              Am
Whatever they say is not always
         C
Not the only way for me
F           G      G#      Am 
Whatever they say is not only

F               Am                 G
The sun will rise and fade your bruises
F                        Am               G
But it can never cleanse your body of the wounds and battle scars
F              Am                G
We all just fight for some reaction
F                  Am                 G
But you get yours and I'll get mine and they'll get theirs

F               G           Am
Whatever they say is not only
         C  
Not the only way I know
F             G              Am
Whatever they say is not always
         C  
Not the only way for me
F             G              Am
Whatever they say is not always
         C  
Not the only way I know
F           G      G#      Am
Whatever they say is not only

Dm                           Am
They tell us to keep pushing on on on
      Dm                                         Am
I said we can't we can't we can't move much more forward
Dm                                      Am
With our feet planted hard towards the ground
F                   E
Don't you know how hard it is to heal
F                                E     E D C B
Don't you have any idea what it means

F               G           Am
Whatever they say is not only
         C  
Not the only way I know
F               G           Am
Whatever they say is not always
         C  
Not the only way for me
F               G           Am
Whatever they say is not only
         C  
Not the only way I know
F              G           Am
Whatever they say is not always
         C
Not the only way for me
F              G           Am
Ohh   ohhhh
         C
Not the only way for me
