Dm        C                 G
Cover my ears and close my eyes
Dm          C                 G
Just long enough to stop the noise
Dm          F                 C       G
Go on, take everything and throw it away
    A#     C
But I will use my voice

Drown every truth in an ocean of lies
Label me "bitch" because I dare to draw my own line
Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way
But I will use my voice

Chorus:
Dm F A#
Whether you like it or not,
you're gonna take what I got
Dm F Gm                  A#
If we can't talk about it,
we just keep drowning in it
Dm                        F
Give me credit or not, I give and I give a lot
A#
But don't you speak for me
Dm F A#
No, don't you speak for me

Never mind me, I'm a waste of your time
Never gonna fit in the box that you need
And I can read between the lines, yeah
Gather your friends and wave your gun in my face
But I will use my voice

Chorus

Dm
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
One day soon
It's gonna fall back on you
No more lies
We're gonna break right through
Like it or not

Chorus:
Woah, woah, oh
If we can't talk about it,
we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not, I give and I give a lot
But don't you speak for me
Woah, woah, oh
No, don't you speak for me
Woah, woah, oh (Whether you like it or not)
Don't you speak for me
