Cm                 D#
Tune in to find my peace and solitude
            G#
These empty rooms spin
                                  A#
And I embrace the flaws of being human
               Cm                      D#
The black and white and sometimes the greys that stay for days
          G#
The in-between times, the meantimes
                       A#
That make the song of life sing

Fm             Cm
Play, rest, repeat
       A#              Fm
Read exactly what is written on the sheet
         Cm
Don't deviate they say
A#          Fm                   Cm
But I will play what's best for me
                A#                 Fm
I'll press the keys and pull the strings
Create a symphony that's mine

Chorus:
    D#             Gm           Cm       G#
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
         D#        Gm                  Cm
And the verses I write will speak for me
                      Fm
Good girls don't make history
          G#
So I may never be what you assume
      Cm                 A#
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
   G#                               Cm    A#
If I'm off-key then that's alright with me
        G#
Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on

Let go
I let my voice be heard, then listen for the echo
My own reverb is playing
Cause I'm a movement
There's dissonance, sometimes I make mistakes
Oh I'm human after all, I'm not your expectations

But play, rest, repeat, that's what they ask of me
Just stick to this melody and stay between the lines
But I'll play what's best for me
I'll ring the bells and crash the cymbals
My harmonious design

Chorus

A#
In my time here
Cm           Fm
I wanna be revered and remembered
   G#
Oh let them say I came, I conquered
A#
So I won't fear
Cm                Fm
And I can't blend in
                      G#          A#
You can't replace and you cannot erase me
         Cm    A#    G#
Cause my song will play on beyond time

Chorus - x2
