Chords for The Life I Never Led - Sister Act (Broadway) Marla Mindelle

I [D] won't break my own rules.
[E] For once, for me, I've never acted like_
_ I've never sat down, wouldn't move to stand straight.
I've [F#] never let go and [D] gone with the flow.
And [E] don't even know really [A] why.
[D] I've never asked questions or taken a dare.
I've never worn clothes that my many people stare.
[G] I've never felt or stood up [Bm] and yelled [C] or even just held my [D] head high.
And all of the feelings unspoken, [F#] all of the truths [G] unsaid.
[E] They're all I have left of the life [D] I never lived. _
_ _ _ _ _ I've never gone surfing or ran with a crowd or danced on a table or laughed much too [G] loud.
I've never quite dared to [Bm] leave myself bared.
I've just been too [C] scared I might fall.
I've [D] never seen Paris, swamping it in mist.
I've never quite realized just how much I [G] missed.
And what did I get?
[Bm] Catching each bet, another [G] regret.
And that's all in [Bm] all of the rushes and [A] asks.
Or [F#] all of the needs [Em] unfed.
And all that remain of the [A] life I never_
[D] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
[G] _ [F#m] One little [Bm] taste of it.
[E] It's sad that I know what I [D] know.
[Bm] What I _
[F#] _ _ [D] know so [Gm] good.
[F#m] After all of the years [A] that I've clung to my fears.
[G] Won't you help me let [E] go?
Help [G] me let go.
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] Won't do it on your own.
It's [C] so easy for you to change your mind.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Em] You feel you need a little adventure in your life?
Wow, so [C] beautiful.
Those are my FM boots.
FM?
[N] Yeah, FM stands for Father_
_ _ Father Mulcahy.
_ And all the good work he did in Korea.
_ Blessed boots of Father Mulcahy.
[D] _
Okay, honey, I just made that up.
[G] I'll believe in them anyway.
Thank you.
[A] _
[B] Take my rosary, baby, I'll believe in them.
Take it anyway.
You may need [G#] the extra help.
[F#] Dolores, come on, let's go.
[F#] _ _ _ [F#m] _ Okay, [E] where are we going?
I'm gonna take you back to my place [C] to hide.
I got the judge to move the court date up to next [D] Wednesday.
Let's go.
Okay, [G] I'll [A] see you later, baby.
_ _ _ I [D] loved you.
I wanted to be strong.
I want to believe I'm where I belong.
[G] To stand up and say I'm seizing [D] the day.
[E] To not just obey, [A] but to [G] choose.
And I [F] may not serve, I may not see friends,
But I have to know I still have the [A#] chance.
Maybe I'll make [Dm] a [D#] mistake.
It's my note to [C] take with you.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Gm] They're beckoning bright, [Am] scary, and new.
But I'm standing [Dm] tall, and I'm walking through.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [Gm] It's time to say_
[C#] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
