[Verse 1]
C                                                                               Am
I’ve been trying to keep it down I know this world can be uptight
F                                                       C
I get sideways looks everywhere I go
C                                                                         Am
But if following my heart is wrong I don’t want to be right
F                                                       C
See I’m a wildfire but all I do is glow

C
