            G
I can’t go without
    C/G                  G
My caramel coffee in the morning
    G/C            Em
My laptop under my arm
           C               Em
Yeah, the corner table is waiting for me
      C                  G  C/G
And Riley took my order

             G
I was not allowed
    C/G                G
To step on sparrow’s again
       C/G                  Em
But as soon as I sit on the chair
           C               Em
I quickly start to feed on words again
         C               G     C/G
We’re attracted to each other

           Bm              Am
The more I act from what I see
           Bm          Am
The more people move away from me
     Bm              Am
But if you wanna be free
             C               D4(9)
You have to be yourself and take the risks

       G       C        D
I am a rebel, feeling bright
          G              C        Am   D
And even-minded I don’t write it right
       G       C        D
I am a rebel, feeling bright
       Eb       F                  G
And I see and a say, I'm a rebel writer

G C/G G C/G
"You know, once I heard that the true rebel is the one who

In addition to living as he believes

he encourages the people around him to do the same"

        G
I must confess
 C/G              G
When it comes to women
   C/G              Em
I have my weakest points
      C                  Em
After all it’s hard to choose between
C            G     C/G
So so many flowers

             G
When I was a boy
            C/G        G
I wrote a fable on the walls
        C/G           Em
But my father made me rub my scrawls
       C               Em
Either way nothing was lost
          C               G     C/G
‘Cause I was writing my story

     Bm                Am
Mr. Sanders gave me a warning
          Bm                        Am
I wasn't looking at the blackboard, sorry
     Bm                 Am
The birdsong caught my attention
           C          D4(9)
More than religion education

       G       C        D
I am a rebel, feeling bright
          G              C        Am   D
And even-minded I don’t write it right
       G       C        D
I am a rebel, feeling bright
       Eb       F                  G
And I see and a say, I'm a rebel writer
       Eb       F                  G
And I see and I say, I'm a rebel writer

    C      D4(9)    Bm   Em
My brother Paul was so polite
    C               G     D/F#
Was always the good son
         C             D4(9)  Em
And now half-pint stays up at night
     A                  B7
And sometimes he drops by

        E      A       B7
I am a rebel, feeling bright
           E             A       B7
And even-minded I don’t write it right
        E      A       B7
I am a rebel, feeling bright
       C        D4(9)      E
And I see and I say, I'm a rebel writer
       C        D4(9)      E
And I see and I say, I'm a rebel writer
       C        D4(9)
And I see and I say
