      D#m                  B
We're not gonna be just a part of their game
      F#                     C#
We're not gonna be just the victims
        D#m                         B
They're taking our dreams and they tear them apart
      F#              C#
'Till everyone's the same

                     D#m
I've got no place to go
I've got nowhere to run.
                       B
They love to watch me fall
                        C#
They think they know it all

       D#m            B
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
        F#               C#
That's what they always said
       D#m               B
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
          F#           C#
But I'll make it on my own
                        B   C#
I've gotta prove them wrong
                D#m B C#
Me against the world
                    D#m B C#
It's me against the world

We won't let them change how we feel in our hearts
We're not gonna let them control us
We won't let them shove all their thoughts in our heads
And we'll never be like them

I've got no place to go
I've got no where to run
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it all

Chorus:
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've gotta prove them wrong
Me against the world
Me against the world

         B
Now I'm sick of this waiting
    C#                    D#m C#
So come on and take your shot
          B
You can spit out your insults
     C#                       D#m     C#
But nothing you say is gonna change us
         B
You can sit there and judge me
 C#
Say what you want to
 B                  C#
We'll never let you win.

Chorus:
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
Me against the world
I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I'm gonna prove 'em wrong
They'll never bring us down
We'll never fall in line
I'll make it on my own
Me against the world
