I was born in a thunderstorm,
F#m    E       D    F#m         E 
I grew up overnight, I played alone,
            D                Bm 
I'm playing on my own, I survived.
    F#m       E             D 
Hey, I wanted everything I never
 had,
Hey, I wanted everything I never had,
F#m       E          D 
like the love that comes with life
F#m    E          D 
I wer'e envy and I hated it,
          C# 
but I survived.

 nothing in the ground can ever
 grow,
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
    F#m                        E    
No hope, just lies and you're taught
         D 
 to cry in your pillow,
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
             C# 
but I'll survive.

 way in the back of my mind.

 I saw my life in a stranger's face
 C# 
 and it was mine.
