Verse 1
I [F]spend too much time [Am]thinking about
[Dm]who I’m supposed to [C]be
I [F]play by every[Am]body’s rules
that [Dm]don’t seem right to [C]me
I’m [F]cool and polite
[Am]on the outside
[Dm]When I get a chance
I [C]run and I hide
If your [F]eyes are closed
it’s [Am]hard to [Dm]see
Chorus
What if I [F]back down [Am]now
’cause I’m [Dm]afraid of what might [C]happen
What if they [F]turn [C]away
when I show them [Dm]who I truly am
What if I [F]lose my [C]breath
when I [E]throw those big doors [Am]open
Or [F]tonight, just [G]tonight
What if I [F]shine?
[Am] [Dm] [C]
Verse 2
Should [F]I even care?
They’re [Am]all sitting there
and [Dm]everyone’s staring at [C]me
If I [F]step out in the [Am]spotlight
maybe I’ll be set [Dm]free
Chorus
What if I [F]back down [Am]now
’cause I’m a[Dm]fraid of what might [C]happen
What if they [F]turn a[C]way
when I show them [Dm]who I truly am
What if I [F]lose my [C]breath
when I [E]throw those big doors [Am]open
Or [F]tonight, just ton[G]ight
What if I [Ab]shin[Eb]e?
[Bb]I…[F]
[Ab]shi[Eb]ne.[G]..
Bridge
I s[F]pend too much time [Am]thinking about
[Dm]who I’m supposed to [C]be
Chorus
But what if I [F]sing out [Am]loud?
Because [Dm]anything can [C]happen
What if I [F]stand up [C]proud
and I show them [Dm]who I truly am?
They’re gonna [F]call my [C]name
and I’ll [E]throw these big doors [Am]open
‘Cause ton[F]ight, just ton[G]ight
I’m gonna [Ab]shin[Eb]e
[Bb]I…[F]
[Ab]shin[Eb]e…
