G#                      C#
What if we were all the same?
                 Fm
Same rules, same game
                            D#                  G#
And we weren't allowed to change anything about anything
C#                          Fm
That anybody's ever done before?
                 D#
Wouldn't that be boring?

G#              C#                          Fm
Always spinning on a ride, all walking on a line
                  D#
That they drew a long time ago
          G#                         C#
When you know that you don't have to go where they go
        Fm                  D#
You can go write your own story (so)

G#              C#
(Hey!) hey, you gotta be
Fm       D#
Who you oughta be
    G#         C#
So who do you wanna be?
Fm       D#
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Chorus:
Fm            C#
You can choose if you're bad, if you're good
           G#                  D#
If you're left or right, speak in your
heart or speak in your mind
Fm                     C#                  G#
You can be what they say, you can be a cliche
             D#
You can tear up the box, and throw it away
G#           C#
Everybody gotta be themselves
Fm           D#
Everybody gotta dream out loud
G#           C#
Everybody gotta be themselves
Fm                    D#
Square pegs make the world go ‘round

There's a lot of open doors you can go and explore
You can always open more if you're hitting a wall
Dropping the ball, haven't we all
Been down that same hallway?
So let 'em talk and whisper, let 'em try to fix ya
Repaint your picture, at the end of the day
It fits in your frame, just cause you're
different don't mean you're crazy

Hey, hey, you gotta sing
Like nobody's listening
Cause somebody's listening, yeah
Oh

G# C# Fm D#
         They make the world go ‘round

Hey, hey, you gotta be
Who you oughta be
So who do you wanna be?
Whoa, oh

Chorus

Hey, you gotta be
Who you wanna be, so
Who do you wanna be?
Square pegs make the world go 'round

Hey, you gotta be
Who you wanna be, so
Who do you wanna be?
Square pegs make the world go 'round
