Standard (EADGBE)
I don't wanna go along with the crowd
Don't wanna live life under a cloud.
Give me some air and space
And the sun on my face
I wanna live out loud!
Don't wanna be alone in the crowd
Don't wanna seem peculiar and proud
I need to be as free
As I know how to be
I wanna live out loud!
Every day - sleep walk, lock step
No one dares to stray
Though they may - straightlaced, shamefaced
Long to break away.
They're as lonely as can be,
Is that what they want from me?
Chorus
I don't wanna go along with the crowd
Don't wanna live life under a cloud.
Give me some air and space
And the sun on my face
I wanna live out loud!
Don't wanna be alone in the crowd
Don't wanna seem peculiar and proud
Nobody wants me here
But I won't disappear
I wanna live out loud!
I wanna run down an open shoreline
I wanna join in a moonlit dance
I wanna swing with the branches of a tree
I wanna bathe in a hidden inlet
And let the breeze come and dry my hair
I want the life they took away from me
If that makes me headstrong - fine!
That's a fault I'm glad is mine.
Chorus
I don't wanna go along with the crowd
Don't want my spirit broken and bowed
Why do I have to hide what I'm feeling inside?
I wanna live out loud!
Don't wanna be alone in the crowd
I only want what I'm not allowed
Give me the wings of a bird
I'll be seen and be heard,
I wanna sing when my heart is full
I wanna sing and I wanna fly
I wanna soar in the sky without a cloud
I wanna live out loud!
