[Intro]
G    Gsus4
G    C5

[Verse]
      G
Some don't believe
             Gsus4
I'm a living soul
        C
Just a bad mistake
that
         G  Gsus4
needs to go
       C
If my mama coulda
just
seen my face
       D
Maybe she woulda
had me anyway
     G
And there are those
who speak for me
     C
Who fight for lives
that
            G
they can't see
     C
But there are some
who only mourn
      D
This life of mine
if I were born

[Chorus]
       G
All I wanted was
a chance
             Am
To learn to love and
laugh and dance
       C     G/B
Oh but I was gone before
Am
I arrived
      C       G
Sent back to Heaven on
   Am  G     D
a starlight flight
