People can take everything away from you
                                       Gm   Ebm 
But they can never take away your truth 
                   Bb    F7    Gm   Ebm
But the question is 
                    Em7
Can you handle mine? 


(Parte 1)
                Bb
They say I'm crazy          
                F7          
I really don't care
              Gm   Ebm 
That's my prerogative 
                Bb
They say I'm nasty 
     F7
But I don't give a damn
Gm               Ebm   Em7 
Getting boys is how I live 


(Parte 2)
              Bb
Some ask me questions
        F7 
Why am I so real?
      Gm 
But they don't understand me
       Ebm                               Bb 
I really don't know the deal about my sister
         F7 
Trying hard to make it right
Gm 
Not long ago
   Ebm             Em7 
Before I won this fight 


(Chorus:) 
Bb                     F7
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Gm                           Ebm 
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why)
Bb 
I don't need permission 
F7
Make my own decisions (oh)
                      Gm 
That's my prerogative 
                   Em7  Bb   F7               Gm      Ebm
It's my prerogative             (it's my prerogative)
Bb            F7                               Gm
    It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative)
           Ebm              Em7
You can't tell me what to do 


(Segue a parte 1)

Don't get me wrong 
I'm really not souped 
Ego trips is not my thing 
All these strange relationships really gets me down 
I see nothing wrong spreadin' myself around 

Chorus (2x): Segue o mesmo

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me 
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why) 
I don't need permission 
Make my own decisions (oh) 
That's my prerogative 
It's my prerogative (it's my prerogative) 

It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative) 
You can't tell me what to do 

( Bb   F7   Gm   Ebm ) 2x Em7

Bb        F7              Gm     Ebm
Why can't I live my life 
          Bb          F7
Without all of the things
             Gm   Ebm     Em7 
That people say, oooh 


Chorus: Segue o mesmo
(oh) Everybody's talking all this stuff about me 
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why) 
I don't need permission 
Make my own decisions (oh) 
That's my prerogative 

(They say I'm crazy) 
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me 
Why don't they just let me live? (tell me why) 
(They say I'm nasty) 
I don't need permission 
Make my own decisions (oh) 
That's my prerogative (it's my prerogative)
