# (Repeat plucking pattern for first verse)

Em                  G               C      
It starts with not questioning the answers 
Em         G                  C   
And giving up before you've begun 
Em               G 
It locks all the doors 
              C      D 
Increases the pressure 
         Em 
And in a flash 
             G              C 
Your time is up before it's done 
    Em        G               D 
And you won't know how it can feel 
D 
To feel at all 

# (Single strum for first six chords) (Follow w regular strumming) 

         Em C G             D Am Em 
So I say no       to status quo 
C                        G 
Who wants to be like the rest 
             D                   D7
And deny the best that I'm meant for 
       Em C G             D Am Em 
I will show    the status quo 
    C                    
Who wants to be normal 
     G  
I'll never conform 
       D             B7                Em D  D7
I will be content to resent the status quo 

Em                 G  
I'll kick down the walls around me 
C                   D 
They don't know how strong I am 
Em                 G        
I'm not defined by boundaries 
                D    F+C
They will never understand 
            D Em C G 
I'm so much more 
             D Am Em 
Than status quo 
    C                 G 
Who cares about being another pipe dreamer 
D                   D7
Stuck on the bottom floor 
      Em C G 
And I know 
             D Am Em 
It's time to go 
              C                        G 
So maybe I've gotten everything that I wanted 
                   D 
But I think that I might have made it so 
               Em    C    G 
When I said no,   no,  no  
          G,B,Em    
To status quo 

# C G D D7

Em      G    C        D      
Cause I am a starship ranger 
Em        G       D       C
I'm gonna do everything I can 
Em       G     B7       A  F+C
To always be a starship ranger 
           C  F  G
Cause it's everything 
Am D7 F    G F G F 
Everything 
G (Move G up a fret, repeat three times, end on G)
I am
