Roar
Katy Perry


[Intro] G-----Am7-

[Verse] G---Am7-Em---C-

G
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
                   Am7
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
Em                         C
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
G
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
                  Am7
I let you push me past the breaking point
Em                                 C
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything


[PreChorus]

    G
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
                 Am7
Already brushing off the dust
    Em
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
                   C
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
    G
You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)
                     Am7
Get ready cause I’ve had enough
  Em                       C--
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus] G---Am7-Em---C-

                     G                                     Am7
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
      Em                               C       G
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
                      Am7
Louder, louder than a lion
      Em                               C       G
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
         Am7
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
             C        G-- then pause
You’re gonna hear me roar


[Verse 2] G---Am7-Em---C-

G
Now I’m floating like a butterfly
                      Am7
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
Em                          C
I went from zero, to my own hero


[PreChorus] G---Am7-Em---C-

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
(You'll hear me roar)
Em

             C        G - to fade
You're gonna hear me roar...
