Track: My Song
Artist: Alessia Cara
Album: Know-It-All (Deluxe)
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
Am C
Tune in to find my peace and solitude
F
These empty rooms spin
G *
And I embrace the flaws of being human
Am C
The black and white and sometimes the greys that stay for days
F
The in-between times, the meantimes
G *
That make the song of life sing
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C Am
Play, rest, repeat
C F
Read exactly what is written on the sheet
Am
Don't deviate they say
C F Am
But I will play what's best for me
C F
I'll press the keys and pull the strings
Create a symphony that's mine
[Chorus]
C Em Am F
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
C Em Am
And the verses I write will speak for me
F
Good girls don't make history
G F
So I may never be what you assume
Am C
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
F Am
If I'm off-key then that's alright with me
C F
Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on
[Verse 2]
Am C
Let go, I let my voice be heard
F
Then listen for the echo
G * Am
My own reverb is playing cause I'm a movement
C
There's dissonance, sometimes I make mistakes
F G *
Oh I'm human, after all I'm not your expectations
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C Am
But play, rest, repeat
C
That's what they ask of me
F Am
Just stick to this melody and stay between the lines
C F Am
But I will play what's best for me
C F
I'll ring the bells and crash the symbols
My harmonious design
[Chorus]
C Em Am F
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
C Em Am
And the verses I write will speak for me
F
Good girls don't make history
G F
So I may never be what you assume
Am C
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
F Am
If I'm off-key then that's alright with me
C F
Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on
[Bridge]
C
In my time here
Em Am
I wanna be revered and remembered
F
Oh let them say I came, I conquered
C
So I won't fear
Em Am
And I can't blend in
F
You can't replace and you cannot erase me
Am C F
Cause my song will play on beyond time
[Chorus] (x2)
C Em Am F
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
C Em Am
And the verses I write will speak for me
F
Good girls don't make history
G F
So I may never be what you assume
Am C
Don't want your hooks or auto-tune
F Am
If I'm off key then that's alright with me
C F
Oh and maybe you will learn this when I'm gone
My song will carry on
C Em Am F
And I'll spend my life penning my song, my song
C Em Am
