[Verse 1]
                         D#5   C5      F#5  C5
What make you think everything is this world
F5   C5                         A#5 C5 C#5 C5
That you have can be taken away?
C5 C5
In a world this day,
     D#5  C5    F#5    C5
it's kill or be killed.
  F5   C5
I live each day like it might be my last.
A#5 C5 C#5 C5 C5 C5                 D#5 C5     F#5
                   In this lifetime few things are
C5     F5 C5
  worth     fighting for.
A#5 C5 C#5 C5 C5 C5            D#5 C5
              My   Blood, Your Ho___nor.
F#5 C5 F5 C5
       E_veryone has a destiny.
A#5 C5    C#5 C5     C5 C5
      I'll    choose my

[Chorus]
own!
  C#5  C5    C#5 C5   C#5 C5 C#5
I will not be    a vic___tim.
C5 C#5 D#5 E5    D#5 C#5 D#5 C5
   I'll    choose    my      own!
   C#5   C5      C#5 C5     C#5 C5 C#5
My cries won't go    unheard
C5 C#5 D#5 E5    D#5 C#5 D#5 C5
   I'll    choose    my      own!
     C#5 C5
I've got to fight,
C#5 C5    C#5 C5 C#5 C5 C#5
    fight for myself   I'll
D#5 E5   D#5 C#5 D#5
   choose    my
C5
own!
    C#5  C5    C#5 C5      C#5 C5 C#5
And what I hold    so true.
C5 C#5 D#5 E5 D#5 C#5 D#5
Desti_ny!

[Verse 2]
C5     A#5           C#5
  I'll choose my own destiny
         C5                        A#5
And I'll never let anyone take away
               D#5
What I hold so true.
  C5                C#5 C5 F#5 F5
I won't live in deni___al.
D#5   C5                         C#5 C5 F#5 F5 D#5
And I won't turn the other cheek.
  C5                C#5 C5 F#5 F5 D#5  C5                  C#5 C5 F#5 F5 D#5
I must remain convic___ted and never accept this suffering.
     C5                      C#5
I've learned from my mistakes
C5         F#5 F5
  And I've made
D#5 C5                C#5 C5 F#5 F5 D#5
a   promise to myself.
  C5                       C#5 C5 F#5 F5 D#5
I won't live in the past...
  C5           C#5 D#5 E5 D#5 C#5
I won't live in        the
D#5 C5
    past!

[Bridge]
D#5 C5 F#5 C5 F5 C5
Ah!
A#5 C5 C#5 C5 C5 C5 D#5 C5 F#5 C5 F5 C5 A#5 C5 C#5 C5 C5 C5

[Verse 3]
                   D#5 C5   F#5 C5
I've been affected by  your lies
F5  C5                         A#5 C5 C#5 C5 C5 C5
And I've let that hold me back.
                  D#5 C5 F#5 C5 F5 C5
I wasn't thinking for myself.
                A#5 C5 C#5 C5 C5
I wasn't living for        myself.

[Chorus]
  C#5  C5    C#5 C5   C#5 C5 C#5
I will not be    a vic___tim.
C5 C#5 D#5 E5    D#5 C#5 D#5 C5
   I'll    choose    my      own!
   C#5   C5      C#5 C5     C#5 C5 C#5
My cries won't go    unheard
C5 C#5 D#5 E5    D#5 C#5 D#5 C5
   I'll    choose    my      own!
     C#5 C5
I've got to fight,
C#5 C5    C#5 C5 C#5 C5 C#5
    fight for myself   I'll
D#5 E5   D#5 C#5 D#5
   choose    my
C5
own!
    C#5  C5    C#5 C5      C#5 C5 C#5
And what I hold    so true.
C5 C#5 D#5 E5 D#5 C#5 D#5

                       What I       have    in  my  heart,
