Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
"What [C]ever's gotten into

[Verse 2]
our sweet little Izzy?"
[C]"Oh it's noth[F]ing [C]dear, it's probably just another one of those adolescent cycles.
Hah! I believe a child psychiatrist would refer to it as: 'the Punk phase'..."

[Verse 3]
I see you [G]clinging, [C]stereotyp[Am]ing[G]
[F]Just to feel [C]comfort,
[F]just to be[G]long[F]
[C]Desperate for [G]meaning,
to make sense of [Am]your [G]life[F]
Let me [C]try to make you
un[G]derstand...
You got it [F]wrong

[Verse 4]
You're not [G]gonna catch me [E]wav
ing flags over [Am]my he[F]ad
Looking [G]straight and
standing [F]tall[C][G][F]
I [G]refuse to build the [E]wall by
adding [Am]my own bricks
That [Bb]separate us [G]all

[Verse 5]
I'd rather [C]die [G]tha[Dm]n be[G]
a part of your [C]pride
[G][Dm][G][F]

[Verse 6]
[C]This ain't the [G]homeland they've
written [Am]books [G]on
[F]Never have [C]been there,
[F]how would you [G]know[F]
[C]Follow[G]ing footsteps that will
get you [Am]nowhere[G][F]
And living [C]by some rules that [G]were made
up one hundred years [F]ago

[Verse 7]
You're not [G]gonna find me [E]digging
through my fam[Am]ily [F]tree
Just to [G]find out who I [F]am[C][G][F]
I don't need [G]to know that [E]I'm
linked to some [Am]mur derer
To [Bb]live on the same [G]land

[Verse 8]
I'd rather [C]die [G]tha[Dm]n be[D] a p[Dm]art [G]of your pride[C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Bm][G][Dm][G]
[F][G][Am][C][F][G][Am]
[C][G][F][C][G][F][G][E]
[Esus4][Em][F][G]

[Verse 9]
So it [C]looks like I'll [G]be here
for a long [Am]time [G]now
[F]Some things are [C]better [F]left
myster[G]ies[F]
[C]Can't change the [G]future
when living [C]in the [G]past
[C]So [F]do what you[C] want and
[F]I'll decide [G]my own his[C]tory
