High School Musical - Gotta Go My Own Way

[intro] x2
F#m  D  A  E

[verse]
F#m         D            A      E
 I gotta say what's on my mind.
F#m         D       A
Something about us doesn't
     E                 F#m
seem right these days.
      D                    A       E
Life keeps getting in the way.
    F#m                    D
Whenever we try, somehow the plan
    A           E
is always rearranged.

[pre-chorus]
  Bm              D
It's so hard to say,
           A              E
but I've gotta do what's best for me.
D          E
You'll be okay

[chorus]
     F#m          D
I've got to move on
       A     E      F#m           D
and be who I am. I just don't belong here;
  E               F#m
I hope you understand.
      D             A
We might find our place
          E       F#m
in this world someday,
     Bm      F#m    D
but at least for now,
                       F#m D A E
I gotta go my own way.

[verse]
F#m          D              A    E
Don't wanna leave it all behind,
F#m              D
but I gave my hopes up and I
   A          E               F#m
watch them fall ev'ry time.
         D              A       E
Another color turns to grey,
         F#m
and it's just too hard to
  D              A          E
watch it all slowly fade away.

[pre-chorus]
Bm            D            A
I'm leavin' today 'cause I've gotta do
   E
what's best for me.
D              E
 You'll be okay

[chorus]
     F#m          D
I've got to move on
        A     E     F#m           D
and be who I am. I just don't belong here;
  E            F#m
I hope you understand.
     D               A
We might find our place
          E        F#m
in this world someday,
     Bm          F#m D
but at least for now,
                        C# D E
I gotta go my own way.

[bridge]

A             E                D

                            A

    F#m                     C# D E

in this world someday, but at least for now,
I want you to stay.
I wanna go my own way.

I've got to move on and be who I am.
