Em                  G               C      D D 
It  starts with not questioning the answers 
Em         G                  C   D D 
And giving up before you've begun 
Em               G 
It locks all the doors 
              C      D 
Increases the pressure 
         Em 
And in a flash 
             G              C 
Your time is up before it's done 
    Em        G        C      D 
And you won't know how it can feel 
D 
To feel at all 

         Em C G             D Am Em 
So I say no       to status quo 
C                        G 
Who wants to be like the rest 
             D 
And deny the best that I'm meant for 
       Em C G             D Am Em 
I will show    the status quo 
    C                    
Who wants to be normal 
     G  
I'll never conform 
       D             Bm                C D (C) 
I will be content to resent the status quo 

Em                 G  
I'll kick down the walls around me 
C                   D 
They don't know how strong I am 
Em                          
I'm not defined by boundaries 
 G              D 
They will never understand 
            D- Em C G 
I'm so much more 
             D Am Em 
Than status quo 
    C                 G 
Who cares about being another pipe dreamer 
D 
Stuck on the bottom floor 
      Em C G 
And I know 
             D Am Em 
It's time to go 
              C                        G 
So maybe I've gotten everything that I wanted 
                   D 
But I think that I might have made it so 
               Em    C    G 
When I said no,   no,  no  
          Bm Am Em 
To status quo 

G     D      A        D 
Cause I am a starship ranger 
G         D          A    D 
I'm gonna do everything I can 
G         D    A        Bm 
To always be a starship ranger 
           D 
Cause it's everything 
A 
Everything 
D 
I am
