Tom: F#m

F#m

[Verse 1]

F#m             E
Been down to the bottomless pit
C#m              D 
And I ain't going back no more
F#m           E
I've seen many losers quit
C#m              D
And I'm not doing that for sure 
F#m              E
I'm looking at an open door
D                 E
That's been locked so long
F#m             E             D               E
I'm looking at a shining light with the future bright, oh

[Chorus]

A          E       D         E
I'm looking forward into this life 
A          E       D           E
I'm looking forward to a better life 
A          E       D         E
I'm looking forward into this life
D                                                E       F#m
I've paid my dues and I refuse to be the one that is left out

[Verse 2]

F#m         E            C#m     D
Nobody gonna hold me down, oh no, oh no
F#m          E            C#m     D
Can't keep me under ground, oh no, oh no
F#m           E
'Cause I'm not looking back
D          E
I'm looking there
F#m           E
There ain't no stopping me
D            E
That's what I say, oh

[Chorus]

A          E       D         E
I'm looking forward into this life 
A          E       D           E
I'm looking forward to a better life 
A          E       D         E
I'm looking forward into this life
D                                                E       F#m
I've paid my dues and I refuse to be the one that is left out

[Verse 3]

F#m           E         C#m            D
Bada bada bada beedaadaa bada bada bada beedaadaa 
F#m           E         C#m            D
Bada bada bada beedaadaa bada bada bada beedaadaa 
F#m           E                   D           E
I've got a new glide in my stride, so watch me ride 
F#m           E               D          E
I've got a new pep in my step, I'm moving on, oh

[Chorus]

A          E       D         E
I'm looking forward into this life 
A          E       D           E
I'm looking forward to a better life 
A          E       D         E
I'm looking forward into this life
D                                                E       
I've paid my dues and I refuse to be the one that is left
A          E       D         E
I'm looking forward into this life 
A          E       D           E
I'm looking forward to a better life 
A          E       D         E
I'm looking forward into this life
A          E       D           E
I'm looking forward to a better life...
