Tom: Gm
Am F
Somewhere there's someone who wants you to be
Dm Am
How they want you to be their opinion
Am F
They'll paint you the colors that they want to see
Bb
And to them it's Monet
Ebm F Eb
But to you it's a grey silhouette
Eb
So pick up a pencil, a stencil, a crayon
Eb F
The picture is not finished yet
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
You could let someone else tell you your story
Bb F
You could let someone else tell you what's true
Bb
Or you could set yourself free
Eb
Climb the tallest, highest tree
Bb F
Or maybe sit back and take in the view
Bb Eb* Bb F
Yeah, you could let yourself, let yourself do anything
[Verse]
Am F
It's there in your hands like a paperback book
Dm Am
You just finished the most recent chapter
Am F
And maybe the first part's all gobbledy-gook
Bb Ebm F Eb
If you're not happy yet, don't forget it's just volume one
Eb F
The story has only begun
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
You could let someone else tell you your story
Bb F
You could let someone else tell you what's true
Bb
Or you could set yourself free
Eb
Climb the tallest, highest tree
Bb F
Or maybe sit back and take in the view
Bb Eb
Yeah, you can let yourself, let yourself do
Bb F
Except for things the law says you can't do
Bb Eb
Unless the law is unjust, in which case definitely do
Bb F
Take a more active role in local and federal government
N.C.
Call your local Congressman (or Congresswoman)
Bb Eb Bb F
Yeah, you could let yourself, let yourself do anything
[Verse]
Bb Eb
You could go flying or soaring through space-time
Bb F
You could go sailing across the blue sea
Bb
Or you could write down some words
Eb
Maybe chill with some birds
Bb F
Be true to yourself and set yourself free
Bb Eb Bb F
If you just let yourself, let yourself be anything
[Bridge]
Bb Eb
Anything that you want to be
Bb F
Anything that you want to be
Bb Eb
Anything that you want to be
[Chorus]
Bb* Eb*
You could let someone else tell you your story
Bb* F*
It's no big if they disagree
Bb* Eb*
At the end of the day it's their part in your play
Bb* F*
And it's your name up on the marquee
Bb Eb
Yeah, you could let yourself, let yourself be
Bb F
What you could let yourself, let yourself be
Bb Eb Bb F Bb Eb
If you just let yourself, let yourself be anything
Bb F
Anything
