[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D
I see people going crazy
G
And good lives torn apart
D
Windows boarded up and shut down
G
And I see broken hearts
A
My boss he comes up to me
D A Bm
Says I better toe the line
G
Well you can take away my paycheque
A
But you can't take my pride
[Chorus]
G
'Cuz I stand up for my freedom
D
And I stand for family
G
I stand up for this life I love
A
I stand up for my country
G
So if you try to take me down
D Bm
Let me show you where I stand
D
Hate me if you want to
A D G
But this is my line in the sand
[Verse 2]
D
I wanna see the good in everyone
G
Yea I'm a peaceful man
D
But when the news and politicians
G
Try to scare us, man, I can't
A
Sit idly by while this world breaks
G A
I'll do whatever it takes
[Chorus]
G
'Cuz I stand up for my freedom
D
And I stand for family
G
I stand up for this life I love
A
I stand up for my country
G
So if you try to take me down
D Bm
Let me show you where I stand
D
Hate me if you want to
A Bm
But this is my line in the sand
[Guitar Solo]
D G A
[Bridge]
G
Yea they say it's darkest before the dawn
A
So I'll shine my light on
[Chorus]
G
Those who stand up for their freedom
D
And stand for family
G
Stand up for this life they love
A
And stand up for their country
G
So if you try to take me down
D Bm
Let me show you where I stand
D
Hate me if you want to
A D A G
But this is my line in the sand
D
You can hate me if you want to
A D G
But this is my line in the sand
D
My line in the sand
