Intro: D F#m

D
 Define me with all your words 
F#m                           D
 Then find me a lesson to be learned 
                                                F#m
 Try to brand me or burn me and I won't let it hurt me 

D
 Define me as what I am 
F#m
 Then try me as just a simple man 
D                                        F#m
 I’m no harm to you, I’m just doing the best I can 

        D 
 And if I’m defined by what I do 
        F#m
 Then what am I supposed to call you 
       G                        D      A
 The shadow of a broken past you abused 

        D
 And if I can stand on my two feet 
        F#m
 I’ll break the wall where we will meet 
       G                            D A
 I’ll document our combination for you 

         D
 We’re starting this party tonight 
        F#m
 Where people will be undefined 
      G
 And love who they want, when the judgment is done 
      D             A
 And won’t have to hide 

         D
 We’re starting this party right now 
        F#m
 Where people can shake off their doubts 
      G
 And send out their love as it moves through the crowd 
      D            A
 And people can shout 

            D
 That they love a man 
        F#m
 Or they love a woman 
      G
 And no one will be judged for love 
        D                    A
 And I can’t be judged for who I am 

D 
 Define me with broad clichés 
F#m
 But I won’t undergo any hate for a stranger’s mistakes 
         G
 I’ve struggled through the boundaries of society’s needs 
      A
 And now I’m not trying to please, it’s freeing 

D
 Define me as God’s child 
F#m
 I am human and we’re all in the wild 
G
 This Earth is as much mine as yours in the end 
     A
 So let’s unite as friends 

        D
 But if I can lie in nature’s bed 
     F#m
 Without the roses killing me dead 
     G
 I think the Earth has got a point
      D              A 
 And we’re a moving joint 

     D
 And if I can say my prayers at night 
     F#m
 I think I’m doing something right 
       G
 Let’s open up a song of safety 
      A
 And carry through the night 

         D
 We’re starting this party tonight 
        F#m
 Where people will be undefined 
      G
 And love who they want, when the judgment is done 
      D             A
 And won’t have to hide 

         D
 We’re starting this party right here 
        F#m
 Where people will shake off their fears 
      G
 And mass tolerance is replaced with resistance 
     A
 And everyone cheers 

            D
 That they love a man 
        F#m
 Or they love a woman 
      G
 And no one will be judged for love 
     D                       A
 And I can’t be judged for who I am 

            D
 That they love a man, (we're starting this party tonight)
        F#m
 Or they love a woman, (where people will be undefined)
      G
 And no one will be judged for love, (love who they want)
     D                       A      D F#m D F#m D F#m
 And I can’t be judged for who I am
