Intro: 0:00
C G | F C | C G | F C

Chorus: 0:07
C          F        G   F
I want to be the minority.
C        F            G   F
I don't need your authority.
 C             F       G   F
Down with the moral majority
       C          F        G   F
'Cause I want to be the minority.

Verse 1: 0:20
    C       G
I pledge allegiance
 F           C
To the underworld.
                 G
One nation underdog there
     F             G
Of which I stand alone.

   C            G
A face in the crowd,
   F                C
Unsung against the mold.
                  F
Without a doubt, singled out,
    G            C
The only way I know.

Bridge: 0:48
  Am             E  F   C
Stepped out of the line
 Am           E     F       G
Like a sheep runs from the herd.
 Am          E   F   C
Marching out of time
 Am        F    G
To my own beat now.
    G               B!
The only way I know.

Verse 2: 1:04
     C          G
One light, one mind
  F              C
Flashing in the dark.
                G
Blinded by the silence
       F              G
Of a thousand broken hearts.

       C         G
"For crying out loud",
       F           C
She screamed unto me.
                 F
A free for all, fuck 'em all.
  G                C
"You are your own sight."

I don't need your authority.
 C             F       G   F
Down with the moral majority
       C          F        G   F
'Cause I want to be the minority.

Blinded by the silence

Of a thousand broken hearts.
