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
