A#
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
                   Cm                 Gm
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
                          D#    A#
So I sit quietly, agree politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
                  Cm                     Gm
I let you push me past the breaking point
                                   D#
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

    A#
You held me down, but I got up
                 Cm
Already brushing off the dust
    Gm
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
                      D#
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
     A#
You held me down, but I got up
                     Cm
Get ready cause I've had enough
  Gm
I see it all, I see it now

Chorus:
          D#          A#
I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter,
                     Cm
Dancing through the fire
      Gm
Cause I am a champion and
             D#       A#
you're gonna hear me roar
                       Cm
Louder, louder than a lion
      Gm
Cause I am a champion and
             D#       A#
you're gonna hear me roar
                   Cm     Gm
Oh oh oh..., Oh oh oh..., Oh oh oh...
              D#       A#
You're gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee, I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up (Hey)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up (Got up)
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

Chorus

  F
Roar, roar, roar, roar
