[Intro]
D F# C#
 
[Verse]
D      F#
I must make a choice
  C#
A tough decision
D      F#
Listen to my voice
C#
Should I give in
D      F#         C#
To temptation admiration
D         F#
One leads to myself
    C#             Bm
The other some one else
              D
Just an empty shell
E             F#
Just an empty shell

[Verse]
     D      F#
It's harder than it seems
C#
When you're told that
D        F#
All your hopes and dreams
    C#
Are yours to hold if
D        F#
You just give them
         C#
What's expected
D         F#
Something they can sell
C#         Bm
Put upon a shelf
                 D
But I am not for sale
E            F#
I am not for sale
 
[Chorus]
F#               A
I here a voice inside
                    E
It's grown into a scream
                      C#
I'm not the next of them
  D               F#
I am the first of me
                         A
'Cause I can't live the lie
                    E
I am just what you see
                     C#
I'm not the next of them
  D               F#      E
I am the first of me
 
 
[Verse]
D    F#
If I can't refuse
    C#
The price they offer
D    F#
I am sure to lose
    C#
And I will suffer
D       F#             C#
Sell my soul to make a profit
D     F#
All I have to do
   C#                Bm
Is make believe it's true
                       D
That something I can't do
     E                 F#
That something I can't do
 
 
[Chorus]
F#               A
I here a voice inside
                    E
It's grown into a scream
                      C#
I'm not the next of them
  D               F#
I am the first of me
                         A
'Cause I can't live the lie
                    E
I am just what you see
                     C#
I'm not the next of them
  D               F# A E C#
I am the first of me
  D               F# A E C#
I am the first of me
  D               F#
I am the first of me
 
                       A
So when the waiting's gone
                        E
It's time to face the truth
                     C#
You know your good enough
      D              F#
Deep down inside of you
 
                      A
You're finally woken up
                  E
If only just to prove
                          C#
You are born to lead the way
      D               F#
Then be the first of you
