G                          C
Everybody told me that I'd never be someone
          C                   D   G
I'm not a puppet on a string, no, no I'm not
G                             C
And everybody said that I was always breaking rules
            C               D       G
Why would I ever wanna put myself inside a box?


[Pre-Chorus]
G D     C         D   G
I don't care what they say
    G   D   C        D G
And who are they any-y-way?


[Chorus]
                G         C
The story of my life it's mine
                C          G
I made it on my own that's right
                G                   C
And now I sing, na-na-na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey
   Em                      D
My life, it's mine, my, my life, it's mine


[Verse 2]
G                                     C
They said if I was blonde that I could make it, so I did it
          C                        D            G
Then they said, "You're almost perfect, but you talk too much", ha
G                              C
Try and dumb it down a little, make sure that you're in the middle
C                     D           G
Rock it all you want, but make it pop enough


[Pre-Chorus]
G D     C         D   G
I don't care what they say
    G   D   C        D G
And who are they any-y-way?


[Chorus]
                G         C
The story of my life it's mine
                C          G
I made it on my own that's right
                G                   C
And now I sing, na-na-na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey
   Em                      D
My life, it's mine, my, my life, it's mine
                     G            C
It's the story of my life, that's right
                        Em        D
There's more to me than meets the eye
                G                  C
And now I sing, na-na-na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey
   Em                      D
My life, it's mine, my, my life, it's mine


[Bridge]
G                  C
My life, yeah, I'm gonna be me, yeah
    Em                 D
I'm gonna believe it's right
G                C
My life, yeah, I gotta be me
  C                   C
I gotta believe it's right

I made it on my own that's right
                G                   C
And now I sing, na-na-na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey
   Em                      D
My life, it's mine, my, my life, it's mine
                     G            C
It's the story of my life, that's right
                        Em        D
There's more to me than meets the eye
                G                  C
And now I sing, na-na-na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey
   Em                      D
My life, it's mine, my, my life, it's mine


[Post-Chorus]
G                  C
My life, yeah, I'm gonna be me, yeah
    Em                 D
