[Verse 1]
        Bsus    B      A       B      A B
He's just a young boy out of school
           Bsus  B        A     B    A B
Living his world like he wants to
          Bsus    B           A       B
They're making laws, but they don't understand
  Bsus   B             A      B   A B
Turns a boy in to a fighting man
A
They won't take me
A                    B5
They won't break me
 
[Verse 2]
        Bsus   B        B      A     A B
No one could tell him what to do
         Bsus  B              A   B    A B
Had to learn everything the hard way
       Bsus   B               A        B      A B
He's on the street, breaking all the rules
       Bsus  B              A       B     A B
I'm telling you that he's nobody's fool
A
They won't take me
A                    B5
They won't break me

Just when you think you had it all figured out
A    B    E           B        A      A
Running scared can change your mind
   B      E         B   E  B  A
