Tyrants Always Fall

1. _ This is the truth of who I am _
_And it’s taken me my whole life to celebrate — I won’t go back!
You can give me a number, slap on a label, tell me I won’t be welcome at your table
But I won’t bow down to the tyrants anymore _
I know what to do, I’ve been here before  
C G Am F (4x)  Am F C G
Tyrants always fall. Always (2x)
Am G F E (2x)

2. _This is the truth of where we’ve been _
_And it’s taken the world till now to take an honest look around
There are lies on the TV, lies in the paper, lies on your phonе just grown from the vapor
And I won’t be fooled by thе liars anymore _
This is the truth that we can’t ignore:  _  _
C G Am F (4x) Am F C G
There are more of us than there are of them (4x)
And Tyrants always fall. Always!
Am G F E (5x)

(bridge) We are scattered & scared in the ship’s dark hold,
  but we have a common peril & we have a common goal
The parents are dead, the leering uncle’s at the prow,
  there is no one left, we are the grownups now
Think of all those times, we’ve been down & dissed, 
  we are made of strong stuff, we were made for this
Am G F E (3x)

And Tyrants always fall. Always!
(instrumental: Am G F E (4x)

4. This is the truth we’ve always known
There isn’t a lightening bolt to set things right, to bring us home
It’s gonna take all our courage, take all our action, take every heart, in every single faction & it’s gonna take time
Some of us won’t live that long
When one gets weak it means it’s your turn to be strong
C G Am F (4x) Am F C G
(outro) 
There are more of us than there are of them (10x)
(with) Tyrants always fall. Always! (10x)
Am G F E (10x)
