[C]
I want to get [C]back, I want to get [G]square
I want to get [C]back all the hopes and the dreams that I had
That the [G]good lord above us can't [F]spare

Like that actor [C]said I don't want to lose [G]heart
I don't want to get [C]beat beat down by the big big world
Or [G]quit before I even [F]start

Lord I [D]just want my [C]life to be [G]true
And I [D]just want my [C]heart to be [G]true
And I [D]just want my [C]words to be [G]true
I want my [D]soul to [C]feel brand [G]new

I want to hold [C]hands yeah, Yeah and I want make [G]love
I want to keep [C]running all day and and all night
Even when my [G]mind tells my body that's[F] enough

And I want to stand [C]up yeah and I want to stand [G]tall
If I ever have a [C]son, if I ever have a daughter
I don't want to tell them [G]that I didn't give my [F]all

And I j[D]ust want my [C]life to be [G]true
I j[D]ust want my [C]heart to be [G]true
I [D]just want my [C]words to be [G]true
I want my [D]soul to [C]feel brand brand [G]new
Like a [C]fresh coat of paint
We can make it anything but [G]blue
Anything but [F]blue

Now when your [Am]dreams start saying I can't come true
You'd be[C] better off without me
Don't let em [G]go, don't let em [F]go

I don't want to go[C] broke, not from one bad [G]deal
I don't want to be [C]up all night crying in my hands
For a [G]girl that isn't even [F]real

Lord [D]I just want my[C] life to be [G]true
And [D]I just want my h[C]eart to be [G]true
And [D]I just want my [C]words to be [G]true
And [D]I just want my [C]song to be [G]true

And I just want my heart to be true
And I just want my life to be true
And I just want my words to be true
And I just want my heart to be true
And I just want my life to be true
And I just want my song to be true
And I just want my life to be true
I want my [D]soul to [C]feel brand [G]new
I want my [D]soul to [C]feel brand [G]new
