verse 1 
C              D            Bm            Em 
I, I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired, 
C              D            Bm            Em 
And letting all these negative thoughts collide, 
C              D            Bm            Em 
Why betray my mind, when I know the control is mine? 


Pre-Chorus 
C              D            Bm            Em 
Got no time to sit on the sidelines and watch ‘em play, 
C              D            Bm            Em 
People around the world, people around the world. 
C              D            Bm            Em 
Gotta strike like lightning, and shine like we’re not afraid, 
C     D       Bm          Em 
People around the world say 

C              D           
I’m alive, 
  Bm            Em 
I’m breathing today, 
C               D 
I’m alive, 
Bm             Em 
Just dying to make, 
C            D 
A good vibe, 
Bm                  Em 
I’m still in the game, 
C     D       Bm          Em 
And I won’t live my life afraid, hey! 


verse 2 
C     D       Bm          Em 
No, nobody can relieve me of my ghosts, 
C     D       Bm          Em 
But I refuse to let ‘em define my soul, 
C     D       Bm          Em 
Though they come and go, 
C     D       Bm          Em 
I’m the one with the guts to stay. 


Pre-Chorus 
C     D       Bm          Em 
Got no time to sit on the sidelines and watch ‘em play, 
C     D       Bm          Em 
People around the world, people around the world. 
C     D       Bm          Em 
Gotta strike like lightning, and shine like we’re not afraid, 
C     D       Bm          Em 
People around the world say
