           Bm                   F#m
I could be loud man, I could be silent
           D                       Bm
I could be young man or I could be old
             Bm                       F#m
I could be a gentleman, or I could be violent

I could turn hot man or I could be cold
           Bm                            F#m                   D                      Bm
I could be just like the calm before the storm boy waitin' for all hell yeah to break loose
A          Bm                     F#m
I could be innocent or I could be guilty
                  D                      Bm
Doesn't mean that I won't believe in the news, so I'm singing ...

[Verse:]
           Bm                    F#m
I could be rich like a wondering gypsy
           D                      Bm
I could be poor like a fat wallet lost
               Bm                        F#m
I could be the first man or I could come last
                        D                           Bm
It's not who breaks the ribbon boy it's how you get across
F#         Bm                        F#m
I could be red, blue, black or white sunset
             D                      Bm
As dark as a day boy or bright as a night
               Bm                        F#m
I could be the sun boy or I could be the moon
                   D                        Bm
I made it from the stars boy I'm shining so bright, so I'm singing...

Lyrics
 
I could be loud man, I could be silent
I could be young man or I could be old
I could be a gentleman, or I could be violent
I could turn hot man or I could be cold
I could be just like the calm before the storm boy waitin' for all hell yeah to break loose
I could be innocent or I could be guilty
Doesn't mean that I won't believe in the news
So I'm singing ...
 
I could be rich like a wondering gypsy
I could be poor like a fat wallet lost
I could be the first man or I could come last
It's not who breaks the ribbon boy it's how you get across
I could be red, blue, black or white sunset
As dark as a day boy or bright as a night
I could be the sun boy or I could be the moon
I made it from the stars boy I'm shining so bright
So I'm singing...
 
I could be asleep boy, or I could be awake
I could be alive and a be the walking dead
I could be ignorant or I could be informed
I could lead my life man or I could be lead
I could be anything I put my mind to boy all I gotta do is give myself a half a chance
I could bring love back into my life
And share it with the world if I had some balance

It's not who breaks the ribbon boy it's how you get across
I could be red blue black and white sunset
Or darkest at day boy or brightest at night
I could be the sun boy I could be the moon
I'm made up from the stars boy I'm shining so bright

I could be asleep boy or I could be awake
I could be alive and I be the walking dead
I could be ignorant or I could be informed
I could lead my life man or I could be led

And share it with the world if I got some balance
So I'm singin'

I could be loud man, I could be silent
I could be young man or I could be old
I could be a gentleman, I could be violent
I could turn hot man or I could be cold
I could be just like the calm before the storm boy,
Waiting for all hell yeah to break loose
I could be innocent or I could be guilty
Doesn't mean that I don't believe in no noose
So I'm singin'
I could be rich like a wandering Gypsy
I could be poor like a fat wallet lost
I could be first man or I could come last
It's not who breaks the ribbon boy it's how you get across
I could be red blue black and white sunset
Or darkest at day boy or brightest at night
I could be the sun boy I could be the moon
I'm made up from the stars boy I'm shining so bright
So I'm singin'
I could be asleep boy or I could be awake
I could be alive and I be the walking dead
I could be ignorant or I could be informed
I could lead my life man or I could be led
I could be anything I put my mind to boy
All I gotta do is give myself half a chance
I can bring love back into my life
And share it with the world if I got some balance
So I'm singin'
