Do It Anyway

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You might put your love and trust on the line

It's risky, people love to tear that down

Let 'em try

Do it anyway

Risk it anyway

And if you're paralyzed by a voice in your head

It's the standing still that should be scaring you instead

Go on and

Do it anyway

Do it anyway

There will be times you might leap before you look

There'll be times you'll like the cover and that's precisely why you'll love the book

Do it anyway

Do it anyway

Tell me what I said I'd never do

Tell me what I said I'd never say

Read me off a list of the things that I used to not like but now I think are ok

Sometimes it's not subjective: wrong and right

Deep down you know it's downright wrong but you're invincible tonight

So you

Do it anyway

It's done

You did it

Despite your grand attempts the chips are set to fall

And all the stories you might weave cannot negotiate them all

Do it anyway

Be honest, anyway

So tell me what I said I'd never do

Tell me what I said I'd never say

Read me off a list of the things that I used to not like but now I think are OK

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Woah woah woah woah

It's gonna be so very hard to say

And watch the trust and joy all drain from her innocent face

But you must

Do it anyway

It sucks but

Do it anyway

Call it surrender but you know that that's a joke

And the punchline is you were actually never in control

But still, surrender anyway

Tell me what you said you'd never do

Tell me what you said you'd never say

Read me off that list of things 'cause I used to not like you

Now I think you're OK

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Woah woah woah woah

Everybody knows that you just gotta do it anyway

Do it anyway ( x8 )

Cause you don't do nothing to avoid self punishment

You won't do nothing

You won't feel nothing

Gotta

Do it, do it, do it anyway

Ah

Do it anyway
