(Capo 1st fret)
G C
It's funny how they shoot you down
G C
When your hands are held up high
G C
And you open up your heart and soul
G C
But that's not enough for most
Em
I remember this much
D
There is nothing
D/C
You shouldn't speak of
D/B D/A
If you've got something to say
D
And there's no one
D/C
To be scared of
D/B D/A
Just get them out of the way
G C D
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
G C
My heart is open wide
G D*
You can take anything that you want from me
Am D
there is nothing left to hide
G C D
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
G C
my hands are held up high
D* Am
I'm learning how to hit back
D7 G C
I'm learning how to fight
G C (repeat)

G C
The law of the jungle says
G C
You look after yourself
G C
But I remember this much
G C
I love as I've been loved myself
D
Don't forget what I told you now
D/B D/C
When the question keeps on coming
D/A
And it's How much more can you take
D D/B
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
D/C D/A
Shouldn't you be gone by now
But you keep on
G C D
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
G C
Setting your sights for the sky
G D*
They can offer you anything at all
Am D
But your dreams must not be sold
G C D
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
G C
No price is high enough
D* Am
I'm fighting back with feeling
D7 G
I'm fighting back with love
Bm C
When the nails are biting into your hands
Bm C Bm
And the cross is heavy on your heart
C D
Now is the time to really make a stand
MY HANDS ARE HELD UP HIGH
(instrumental)
G C D
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
