Roar
Written & Recorded by Katy Perry

(Capo on 3)

Intro.:  Percussion x 2 bars

(G) I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath, scared to rock the (Am)boat and make a mess
(E) So I sat quietly, agreed polite-(C)ly
(G) I guess that I forgot I had a choice, I let you push me (Am)past the breaking point
(E) I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You (G)held me down, but I got up, (Hey!) already brushing (Am)off the dust
You (E)hear my voice, you hear that sound like thunder gonna (C)shake the ground
You (G)held me down, but I got up, (Hey!) get ready 'cause I've (C)had enough
I (E)see it all, I see it now

(Chorus)
I got the (C)eye of the ti-(G)-ger, a fighter, dancing through the (Am)fire
'Cause I (E) am a champion and you're gonna (C)hear me roar
(G) Louder, louder than a li-(Am)-on
'Cause I (E) am a champion and you're gonna (C)hear me roar
(G) Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh (Am)oh oh oh
(E) Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you're gonna (C)hear me roar (G) ---

(G) Now I'm floating like a butterfly stinging like a (Am)bee I earned my stripes
(E) I went from zero, to my own he-(C)ro

You (G)held me down, but I got up, (Hey!) already brushing (Am)off the dust
You (E)hear my voice, you hear that sound like thunder gonna (C)shake the ground
You (G)held me down, but I got up, (Hey!) get ready 'cause I've (Am)had enough
I (E)see it all, I see it now

(Chorus)
I got the (C)eye of the ti-(G)-ger, a fighter, dancing through the (Am)fire
'Cause I (E) am a champion and you're gonna (C)hear me roar
(G) Louder, louder than a li-(Am)-on
'Cause I (E) am a champion and you're gonna (C)hear me roar
(G) Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh (Am)oh oh oh
(E) Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you're gonna (C)hear me roar

(G) Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh (Am)oh oh oh, you'll hear me roar
(E) Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you're gonna (C)hear me roar ---
(G) --- (Am) --- (E) --- (D) --- Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar

(Chorus)
I got the (C)eye of the ti-(G)-ger, a fighter, dancing through the (Am)fire
'Cause I (E) am a champion and you're gonna (C)hear me roar
(G) Louder, louder than a li-(Am)-on
'Cause I (E) am a champion and you're gonna (C)hear me roar
(G) Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh (Am)oh oh oh
(E) Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you're gonna (C)hear me roar

(G) Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh (Am)oh oh oh, you'll hear me roar
(E) Oh oh oh oh oh oh, you're gonna (C)hear me roar (G) -----
