Status Quo

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
[Em]It starts with not q[C]uestioning the [G]answers
[Em]And giving u[C]p before you've[G] begun
[Em]It locks all the [C]doors, increases the[G] pressure,
And in a fl[Em]ash
Your time is [C]up before it's d[Em]one
[Em]And you won't kno[C]w
[C]How it can fe[G]el
To feel at[Am] all

So I say
[B]No[Em]...[D] to status [B]qu[Am]o..[G].
Who w[Em]ants to be like the r[D]est
And deny the [C]best that I'm mean[D]t for?

I will [B]sh[Em]ow.[D]..
The status[B] q[Am]uo.[G]..
Who [Em]cares about normal?
I'll [D]never conform
I wi[C]ll be content to resent the status[D] q[Em]uo.[D]..
[D]I kick down the [G]walls around me
[Am]They don't know how [Em]strong I [D]am
I'[D]m not defin[G]ed by boundaries
T[Am]hey could never [B]understa[C]nd
I[C]'m so much m[A]ore[Dm]...[C]
...Than statu[A]s [Gm]quo[F]
For[Dm]get about being
[C]Another pipe dreamer
[Bb]Stuck on the botto[D]m floor
And I [B]kn[Em]ow [D]
It's time [B]to[Am] go[G]
So maybe I've [Em]gotten everything
That I w[D]anted but I think that
I migh[C]t have made it [D]so
When I said [C]no, [B]no, [Em]no
To status [G]qu[B]o.[C]..

[A]I am a St[D]arship R[E]anger
[A]I'm gonna [D]do everythin[E]g I can
[A]To always be a S[D]tarship R[F#m]anger
It's ev[D]erything, it's e[D]veryth[Dm]ing,
I a[A]m!
