[Verse 1]
       Am              C              G     Dm
You've always had some trouble with authority
    Am                  C               G        Dm
And that's the way that growing up's supposed to be
    Am      C       G            Dm     E*
But you can make it through, you gotta believe
 
[Chorus]
F             G      Am*
  That you are your own secret weapon
F            G    Am*
  It's all up to you, to come out swingin'
F                G    N.C.
  It's all up to you!
 
[Verse 2]
     Am              C                     G         Dm
Take back the stolen years, the truth will set you free
Am                 C                  G     Dm
Don't lay down and lie, shut down the fallacies
Am        C       G       Dm    E*
Throw all of your fears into the sea
 
[Chorus]
F              G      Am*
  Cause you are your own secret weapon
F            G    Am*
  It's all up to you, to come out swingin'
F                G
  It's all up to you!
 
[Bridge]
                C          C/B         Am
So call all your cars, and take to the streets

You can't change the past
             Am
Nothing will last

F                G
  It's all up to you!
F     G     Am  C  F/C  G
  All up to you!
