Taking the Plunge
Drake

[Verse 1]
C                    G
I was in a corner, trapped in my own mind, 
Am                  F
Thought I’d never make it, feeling so confined, 
C                   G
But deep down inside, I knew I had to grow, 
Am                 F
Taking the plunge, baby, it was time to glow.

[Chorus]
F                     C
So I took that leap, yeah, I freed my soul, 
G                          Am
Believing in myself, now I'm on a roll, 
F                    C
No more doubts, I crushed that fear, 
G                            Am
Overcoming shadows, the path is clear.

[Verse 2]
C                    G
Made a hard decision, turned my life around, 
Am                  F
Didn’t realize I was lost until I found, 
C                   G
Now looking back at the bridges I burned, 
Am                  F
Embracing the journey, lessons I learned.

[Chorus]
F                     C
So I took that leap, yeah, I freed my soul, 
G                          Am
Believing in myself, now I'm on a roll, 
F                    C
No more doubts, I crushed that fear, 
G                            Am
Overcoming shadows, the path is clear.

[Bridge]
Am                   F
Now feeling respected, yeah, I wear my crown, 
C                          G
Getting what I deserve, never backing down, 
Am                    F
Imposter syndrome? Nah, I left it behind, 
C                        G
Climbing higher, with a stronger mind.

[Chorus]
F                     C
So I took that leap, yeah, I freed my soul, 
G                          Am
Believing in myself, now I'm on a roll, 
F                    C
No more doubts, I crushed that fear, 
G                            Am
Overcoming shadows, the path is clear.

[Outro]
C                     G
So here’s to the journey, here’s to the fight, 
Am                     F
Taking the plunge, I’m ready for flight, 
C                     G
With every step taken, I’m writing my song, 
Am                         F
In this game of life, baby, I belong.
