Bm                        G
Sick and tired of getting older
D                                      A
I keep getting lost trying to find my way
Bm                         G
Looking for love in every corner
             D
night after night
                                  A
but every street light looks the same

        G                  Em
So I'm taking the chance, walking away,
              Bm
breaking the rules
 G              Em               D
nobody here can tell me what to do

Chorus:
              A              Bm
I'm out on my own, making my way
              G                             D
trying to be someone that I can be proud of one day
              A                 Bm
I'm out on my own, doing it my way

I gotta be tough, gotta be stronger
And take the time to understand
This city can't get any colder
Stab you in the back
While shakin' your hand

So I'm takin' the chance, walkin' away,
breakin' the rules
Nobody here can tell me what to do

Chorus:
I'm out on my own, makin' my way
Tryin' to be someone that I can be proud of one day
I'm out on my own, doing it my way
Doing it my own way, yeah (Oh)

I'm takin' the chance, walkin' away, breakin'
the rules
Nobody here can tell me what to do

Chorus:
I'm out on my own, makin' my way
Tryin' to be someone that I can be proud of one day
I'm out on my own, doing it my way
Doing it my way
Doing it my own way
