 B
Life without takin' chances
    F#
Is no kind of life at all
        E
You've gotta stand up for something
B
Even if you might fall
E      F#
Gotta take that road
    G#m            E
Wherever it might go, no matter where, no matter
what
       F#
I want you to know, I want you to know

Chorus:
E  C#m                B
  I   tried to do my best, to do the best I could
E      C#m              B
  And I  had to give my all, it's what I had to do
C#m     D#m           E                   G#m
  And I,  do it all again and that's the honest
truth
E  C#m             B   E
  I, I did it for you

Maybe I was crazy
I guess I was sometimes
And maybe it's hard to change things
But I had to know I tried
Everyday you've got to live
For what you believe
Please understand
I had no choice
It's what had to be
It's what had to be

Chorus

  C#m      F#/A#
Oh, and I had no choice, no
        E
It was somethin' that I believed
                                G#
A dream that was drivin' me, a fire inside of me

Chorus:
F# D#m                C#
  I   tried to do my best, to do the best I could
F#     D#m              C#
  And I  had to give my all, it's what I had to do
D#m     Fm           F#                  A#m
  And I,  do it all again and that's the honest
truth
F# D#m             Fm
  I, I did it for you
   F# D#m          C#   F#
Oh, I, I did it for you
             C#
I did it for you
