Bb              F
No, you don't stand a chance
       C
For a second in my world
              Bb                   F
The same old song, it won't last long
               C               Dm
If you can't stand behind the music
         Bb             F
All the fame, all the girls
             C
And all the money in this world
                  Bb            F
They don't mean sh-, better admit
               C               Dm
If you can't stand behind the music
 
[Chorus] 
     Bb         F
So stand up, show 'em how we do it
 C                                Bb
Won't back down until I see your hands up
 F
Tell 'em what the truth is
 C                Dm
Stand behind the music
 
[Verse] 
Bb                    F
You gotta get behind, Cross your heart, hope to die
C                                 C
Splash of hype, dash of pretty, That don't mean I'll buy
Bb                     F
Okay, alright already, They getting money
C                         Dm                         Bb
All the frauds, all the phonies, All the fakes, slow down
Bb       F                  C
It's a fast paced world, breathe, breathe
         C
Look my face in the mirror
      Bb                 F
Say, "Who the heck am I? "Look me in the eye
C                              Dm
Is this conviction or addiction or a waste of time?
Bb                 F
Just name a genre, yeah, I've tried it
C
Been doin' this from 15 to life, yeah
Bb                      F
I need a break already, I gotta find it
C                             Dm
And for the first time in my life, I'm doing my schtick
                                             C
I, I, I, I, I wanna stand in this pop star frenzy
                C                            Bb
Girls getting praise, look at Nikki look at Katy
           F
Chew it up, make my teeth rot
C                           Dm
You think I'm talkin' to ya? I'm probably not -not-
 
[Verse] 
       Bb              F
No you don't stand a chance
       C
For a second in my world
              Bb                   F
The same old song, it won't last long
               C               Dm
If you can't stand behind the music
         Bb             F
All the fame, all the girls
             C
And all the money in this world
                  Bb            F
They don't mean sh-, better admit
               C               Dm
If you can't stand behind the music
   Bb            F
Rewind, when I was a little younger
 C
Lookin' for a label and a little clean danger
Bb                 F
A  had a taste for a new adventure
   C                    Dm
We opened every 'Do Not Enter'
 
[Verse] 
             Bb
Yeah, I was tryin' hard to be somebody
 F
Be the cool kid at the party
 C                          C
Lookin' at me laddy daddy, hottie hottie, hot tamale
  Bb                          F 
Stranger sizing up my body

Told me I could be somebody
 C      
Wait, someone stopped me,
 
Went home and I called my mommy
Bb           F
Oh no, I'm not that girl,
         C
I still wanna be the leader of the f-f-free world
       Bb                F
I'm a big dreamer, I'm a believer
      C                       Dm
Just try to tell me no, I'mma go full steam ahead
Bb            F
 No, can't slow me down
       C
Gonna run this town from the inside out
  Bb                      F
Block by block from the bottom to the top
    C
I know just who I am
       Dm
And I know just who I'm not
 
[Bridge] 
         Bb              F
No, you don't stand a chance
       C
For a second in my world
              Bb                   F
The same old song, it won't last long
               C               Dm
If you can't stand behind the music
         Bb             F
All the fame, all the girls
             C
And all the money in this world
                  Bb            F
They don't mean sh-, better admit

  C               Dm
Stand behind the music
        Bb        F
Yeah, stand up, come on let me see you
  C
Front row up to the nose bleeders
 Bb        F
Hands up, if you really mean it
  C               Dm
Stand behind the music
 
[Outro] 
         Bb              F
No, you don't stand a chance

The same old song, it won't last long
