[intro]

[verse]
      D              Eb/D              C#/D  BbMaj9/D
If I can't speak my truth for fear of bein' abused
           C/D       Bb/D     D            C/D
I might as well be a mute, my voice never used
D          Eb/D            C#/D         BbMaj9/D
I'll be maligned, I'll be distant and trolled
      C/D      Bb/D            D              C/D
If I can't be aligned, I'll be thrown in the cold

[transition]
  D                               Asus7/F#
I don't think I've ever felt so out on the margin
    Gm                            Bbdim7
I'm too old to fight with machetes and blades
  Cadd9                          Bm7
I feel like a leper, like handin' my cards in
        Em7b5/Bb                Esus4
Like I don't have the right to join the parades

[chorus]
    D          Cadd9              G/B
I'm rockin' in rage, forward and back
   D          Cadd9      G/B            C
My bones disengage, they splinter and crack
     D            Cadd9                       G/B
Deep fire in the clock in one last rampage
D             Cadd9      G/B        A
Drop all the lines, I'm rockin' in rage

[bridge]
A5         G5    A5   G5      A5               G5        F5
Rockin' in rage,       oh, I won't leave the stage
              G5           A5
Oh, yeah, I'm rockin' in rage

A5
If you can ride it right here, you know how to die
If you can conquer your fear, you'll get to fly
Ooh, you'll get to fly

[verse]
This must be your right, to get it down on the page
You know you must write, you know you must rage
You might learn to fly, get out on the stage
But you might as well lie, unless you can rage

[transition]
I don't think I've ever felt so out on the margin
I'm too old to fight with machetes and blades
I feel like a leper, like handin' my cards in
Like I don't have the right to join the parades

[chorus]
I'm rockin' in rage, well past my prime
Denyin' the curtain, wastin' no time

So this is the carver, the death before age
I thought I'd be calm, but I'm rockin' in rage

[bridge]
Rockin' in rage, oh, I won't leave the stage
I'm rockin' in rage, rockin' in rage

Rockin' in rage, no, I won't leave the stage
'Cause I'm rockin' in rage
Rockin', oh, my heart in a cage

[solo]
A5

[verse]
If I can't speak my truth for fear of being abused
Might as well be a mute, my voice never used
This must be my right, get it down on the page
I know I must write, I know I must rage

[outro]
