Bm--G-- x2

------ x2

Verse 1

 Believer

 Your spotlight on the

subject so incorrect

 And suggestion suggests

 that I'm someone you

 should not respect

 Oh you wear your facade so well

 Covered up in a plastic shell

 You're a liar to everyone

 around you Just don't forget

Refrain

Face the honest truth

You were never you

Chorus 1

I'll be defiant the lion

 Give them the fight that

 will open their eyes

 Hangman hooded softly

swinging Don't close the

coffin yet I'm alive

And it's homecoming

And it's homecoming

Verse 2

Can you remember

 When there was no wrong

 in what I could do

So young biting off

way more than I could

 chew And then one

 day I grew too old

 And my cares were

 now theirs to mold

 Please accept this

 as my resignation

 It's time to go

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus 2

I'll be defiant the lion

 Give them the fight that

 will open their eyes

 Hangman hooded softly

swinging Don't close the

coffin yet I'm alive

Interlude

---- x4

G C G C--

Oh I'm alive

Bridge

I will now bleed

 for what I believe in

No more mistakes for

 them to make for me

 So goodbye it's

my time for me

Interlude

Bm--G--

------ x2

being me

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus 3

I'll be defiant the lion

 Give them the fight that

 will open their eyes

 Hangman hooded softly

swinging Don't close the

 coffin yet I'm alive

I'm alive

I'm alive

I'm alive
