Fm D# C#
Fm D# C#

[Verse 1]
Fm      Eaug         C#
Stop pretending like know it all
         A#m
From the top of my lungs
                    G#
I’m begging you all please stop
           Fm                A#m   Fm
Cause even though I’m just a child
      Eaug              C#
Still I see this isn’t real
                        A#m
A computer could never love
                      G#
A machine could never feel
       Fm               A#
Live a life or live a dream

[Chorus]
C#         G#                            A#m
 One girl against them all (against them all)
                 D#m      G#
Just the one to break the mold
C#                         G#
 And one voice and you can hear
          A#m D#m G#
A needle fall
        C#m     B         C#m               A
Like an island lost in a stream (lost in a stream)
        F#m           E         D
It’s a nightmare that you call a dream
                F#m         D
Cause you were raised to be honest
     A           E
Now look at yourself
        Bm           A       E
Can you righteously stand to defend
C#  Bm/F# E/G# F#m/A
Yo---o----o----ur      truth

[Instrumental break]
F#m E A
F#m E A

[Verse 2]
F#m     Faug        D
 From a slumber the world awoke
         Bm
From the top of her lungs
                       A
With tears in her eyes she spoke
               F#m          Bm    F#m
Cause that was all she knew how to
         Faug      D
Words of fire stay cold
                              Bm
Does it matter if you win the world?
                           A
If to win you've lost your soul
       F#m             B
Live a life or live a dream

[Chorus]
D          A                             Bm
 One girl against them all (against them all)
                 Em       A
Just the one to break the mold
D                          A
 And one voice and you can hear
          Bm Em A
A needle fall
        Dm      C         Dm                A#
Like an island lost in a stream (lost in a stream)
        Gm            F         D#
It’s a nightmare that you call a dream
                 Gm         D#
Cause you were raised to be honest
     A#           F            Cm   A#    F
Now look at you defending your way, your choice
D    Dsus4/G Dsus2/A A#
Yo-----o------ur    truth

[Outro]
        Dm      C         Dm                A#
Like an island lost in a stream (lost in a stream)
        Gm            F         D#
It’s a nightmare that you call a dream
                 Gm         D#
Cause you were raised to be honest
     A#           F            Cm   A#    F
Now look at you defending your way, your choice
D     Gm
