Verse

People back home, wondering how have you been
Em D
It's been 29 days, have you gone out and made any friends?
Em Cmaj7
Do you need any money, is there anything else we can send?
Am G D/F# Em
Please tell us you've stayed away from the darkness again
Em G
I wonder if you've ever known how it feels to be free
Em D
Well, one thing's for sure, you don't know what it's like to be me
Am C
I'm trying to break free from these chains, won't you give me a break?
Am G D/F# Em
Now, you just got to give me a chance to make my own mistakes
Chorus
C G D
And I feel no pain
C G D
Nothing can touch me, and I'm gonna win
C G Em A Asus4 A
And I'm not holding back, not reining it in
F Am Em
You hold back the darkness, and I'll see the sun rise again
