E              B           A    E
I've lived my life like a masochist
E           B
Hearing my father say,
A              E
"Told you so, told you so"
E              B          A      E
Why can't you be like the other girls?
         A   E    B         C#m
I said, "Oh no, that's not me
A             E              B
And I don't think that it'll ever be."

Thought I belonged to a different tribe
Walking alone, never satisfied, satisfied
Tried to fit in, but it wasn't me
I said, "Oh no, I want more
That's not what I'm looking for"

Chorus:
      C#m      B          A       E
So I took the road less traveled by
       C#m    B       A
And I barely made it out alive,
             C#m      B      A     E
Through the darkness somehow I survived.
A     E    B           C#m
Tough love, I knew it from the start
A     E            B
Deep down in the depth
Of my rebel heart

I spent some time as a narcissist
Hearing the others say, "Look at you, look at you!"
Trying to be so provocative
I said, "Oh yeah, that was me"
All the things I did just to be seen
Outgrown my past and I've shed my skin
Letting it go and I'll start again, start again
Never look back, it's a waste of time
I said, "Oh yeah, this is me
And I'm right here where I wanna be"
I said, "Hell yeah, this is me
Right where I'm supposed to be"

Chorus:
So I took the road less traveled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness, somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in my rebel heart
So I took the road less traveled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness, somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depth
Of my rebel heart

In my Rebel Heart
In my Rebel Heart
