A
First things first
D
I’ma say all the words inside my head
E A
I’m fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
A
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
D
Second thing second

Don’t you tell me what you think that I can be
A D
I’m the one at the sail, I’m the master of my sea, oh-ooh

Chorus
A
I was broken from a young age
D
Taking my soul into the masses
E
Write down my poems for the few
A
That looked at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
D
Singing from heartache from the pain
E
Taking my message from the veins
A
Speaking my lesson from the brain
D
Seeing the beauty through the…
E
Pain!
A
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
D
Pain!
E
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
A
Pain!
D
Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
E
My life, my love, my drive, it came from…
Pain!
A
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Verse 2
A
Third things third
D
Send a prayer to the ones up above
E A
All the hate that you’ve heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
A
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh
D
I was choking in the crowd
E
Building my rain up in the cloud
A
Falling like ashes to the ground
D
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
E
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like…
Chorus
A
I was broken from a young age
D
Taking my soul into the masses
E
Write down my poems for the few

Taking my message from the veins
A
Speaking my lesson from the brain
D

Bridge
D
Last things last
E
By the grace of the fire and the flames
A
You’re the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh
D
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
E
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke up and it rained down
