C#m
Shrug us off our shoulders
We don't do what they told us
   F#m
So I don't wanna be another face in the crowd
   E
So I can't slow it down, no
   G#
So I can't slow it down, no
     C#m
They write us off and say
it's just another opinion
    F#m
I'm tired of trying to fit in when
I'm one in a million
   E
So I can't slow it down, no
   G#
No I can't slow it down, no

                C#m
I'm never gonna follow
                  F#m
Just because they say so
                 E
I'm never gonna let go, let go
G#
Of this high

Chorus:
                     C#m
I've already hit the low, oh, oh, oh, oh
                      F#m
I've already felt the cold, oh, oh, oh, oh
        E
So I'm never giving up, never gonna crack
G#
Never giving in, never going back
               C#m
Already fell below, oh, oh, oh, oh
                        F#m
I fell deeper than the snow, oh, oh, oh, oh
        E
So I'm never giving up, never gonna crack
     G#
I'm never giving in, never going back

Don't tell me that it's over when
I'm just getting started
I'm done with waiting for them
'cause my ship has departed
And I can't slow it down, no
No I can't slow it down, no

I'm never gonna follow
Just because they say so
I'm never gonna let go, let go
They won't win this fight

Chorus

C#m     F#m
Oh, oh, oh, oh
 E
(Never giving up, never gonna crack)
     G#
(I'm never giving in, never going back)

I'm never gonna follow
Just because they say so
I'm never gonna let go, let gov

Chorus

C#m    F#m
Oh, oh, oh, oh
E
Never giving up, never gonna crack
Oh, oh
    G#
I'm never giving in, never going back
C#m    F#m
Oh, oh, oh, oh
E
Never giving up, never gonna crack
Oh, oh
    G#
I'm never giving in, never going back
