[Intro]
D  E  F#m
F#m   Bm  C#
 
[Verse 1]
D     E F#m
I must make a choice
F#m  Bm  C#
     A tough decision
D   E F#m
Listen to my voice
F#m  Bm C#
      Should I give in
D     E F#m      Bm C#
To temptation,
F#m  Bm C#
 Admiration,
D     E F#m
One leads to myself
F#m  Bm C#
The other some one else
Bm             D
 Just an empty shell
E
Just an empty shell
 
[Interlude]
F#m  E  F#m  E
 
[Verse 2]
     D     E F#m
It's harder than it seems
F#m  Bm  C#
     When you're told that
D     E F#m
All your hopes and dreams
F#m  Bm  C#
    Are yours to hold if
D     E F#m
You just give them
F#m    Bm C#
What's expected
D     E F#m
Something they can sell
F#m  Bm  C#
Put upon a shelf
Bm               D
But I am not for sale
E
I am not for sale
 
[Chorus]
F#m                    A
    I here a voice inside
                     E
It's grown into a scream
                      C#
I'm not the next of them
  D
I am the first of me
F#m                        A
   'Cause I can't live the lie
                    E
I am just what you see
                    C#
I'm not the next of them
   D
I am the first of me
 
[Interlude]
F#m  E  F#m  E
 
[Verse 3]
D  E  F#m
If I can't refuse
F#m      Bm C#
        The price they offer
D  E  F#m
I am sure to lose
F#m      Bm C#
        And I will suffer
D  E  F#m               Bm C#
Sell my soul to make a profit
D  E  F#m
All I have to do
F#m      Bm C#
Is make believe it's true
Bm                      D
 That something I can't do
      E
 That something I can't do
 
[Chorus]
F#m                    A
    I here a voice inside
                     E
It's grown into a scream
                      C#
I'm not the next of them
  D
I am the first of me
F#m                        A
   'Cause I can't live the lie
                    E
I am just what you see
                    C#
I'm not the next of them
   D
I am the first of
F#m     A
 Meeeeeee
E
Aoooo
C#        D
 I am the first of
F#m     A
 Meeeeeee
E
Aoooo
C#        D
 I am the first of me
F#m
    So when the waiting's done
A
     It's time to face the truth
E
    You know you're good enough
 C# D
    Deep down inside of you
F#m
   You're finally woken up
A
  If only just to prove
E                          C#
  You are born to lead the way
     D
Then be the first of you
 
F#m  E
(repeat until fadeout)
