[Verse 1]
E                        A         E   B
Now, Whittier arrived in fictional California
E
We're gonna bring it on again
A           E      B
Bring it on to you hard
E                             A        E   B
Our school spirit was defined by dance and drama
E
The lord above will be my guide
    A       E     B
The light into my heart
 
 
[Chorus]
A            E        F#m
Open the light to the darkness
A          E            F#m
Open your heart, let it all hang out
A          E          F#m
Open your life to the hardness
A          E           F#m
Open your mind 'til it all falls out
                E
Let it all fall out
 
E A E B
 
[Verse 2]
E
Now that I have survived
    A         E     B
The spectacle of my youth
E
I'm gonna bring it on again
A           E       B
Bring it on with my truth
E                                 A       E     B
My foolish spirit was denied by a romance diorama
E
I put my passion in my pride
     A         E           B
My beloved was finally refused
 
 
[Chorus]
A         E            F#m
Open the light to the darkness
A          E            F#m
Open your heart, let it all hang out
A          E           F#m
Open your life to the hardness
A          E           F#m
Open your mind 'til it all falls out
                  E
Let it all fall out
 
E A E B
 
[Bridge]
C#m                  F#m       B
I'm all alone at the megaphone
C#m                     F#m             B
I'm all psyched up as I make my mark in total darkness
C#m                F#m          B
I look alive but I feel so dead inside, I'm bleeding
C#m                        F#m
Gonna break a leg with the basket toss
        B                 E
For the loss of my broken dreams
 
E A E B
 
[Outro]
E                        A         E   B
Now, Whittier arrived in fictional California
E
We're gonna bring it on again
A           E      B
Bring it on to you hard
