Song Lyrics and Chords

[Intro]
| Bb / / / |

  
[Verse 1]

Bb
 I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
                      Cm
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
Gm                           Eb
 So I sat quietly, agreed politely
Bb
 I guess that I forgot I had a choice
                   Cm
I let you push me past the breaking point
Gm                                   Eb
 I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
    Bb
You held me down but I got up (hey!)
                  Cm
Already brushing off the dust
    Gm
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
                     Eb
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
    Bb
You held me down but I got up (hey!)
                    Cm
Get ready cos I’ve had enough
  Gm
I see it all, I see it now


[Chorus]

           Eb          Bb                                       Cm
I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire
     Gm                                    Eb    Bb
Cos I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
                       Cm        Gm
Louder, louder than a lion, cos I am a champion
                      Eb    Bb   Cm   Gm                     Eb    Bb
And you’re gonna hear me roar (oh oh oh) You’re gonna hear me roar


[Verse 2]

Bb                                                    Cm
 Now I’m floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee, I earned my stripe
Gm                            Eb
 I went from zero, to my own hero
    Bb
You held me down but I got up (hey!)
                  Cm
Already brushing off the dust
    Gm
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
                     Eb
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
    Bb
You held me down but I got up (hey!)
                    Cm
Get ready cos I’ve had enough
  Gm
I see it all, I see it now


[Chorus]

           Eb          Bb                                       Cm
I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire
     Gm                                    Eb    Bb
Cos I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
                       Cm        Gm
Louder, louder than a lion, cos I am a champion
                      Eb    Bb   Cm   Gm
And you’re gonna hear me roar (oh oh oh)
                  Eb    Bb   Cm   Gm
You’re gonna hear me roar (oh oh oh)
                  Eb    Bb
You’re gonna hear me roar

Bb    Cm  Gm    *D
                  Roar, roar, roar, roar, roaaaar!
(*Keep on strumming the D louder)

[Chorus]
N.C.                  Bb                                       Cm
I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire
     Gm                                    Eb    Bb
Cos I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar
                       Cm        Gm
Louder, louder than a lion, cos I am a champion
                      Eb    Bb   Cm   Gm                     Eb    Bb
And you’re gonna hear me roar (oh oh oh) You’re gonna hear me roar
