Verse 1:
           Dm
I'll never know your pain,
           Dm             Bb
I've never walked in your shoes.
           Dm
I know your life ain't fair,
            Dm               Bb
I know it's damn near killed you.
                    Dm
You've been through hell,
              Dm              Bb
You blame yourself, a painful past you can't forgive.
           Dm
You had no help,
              Dm             Bb
But time will tell if it's a curse or it's a gift.

Chorus:
(nc)                Bb              F
But if you're still breathing, breathing,
            C                    Dm
You made it through your darkest days,
                      Bb          F
If your heart's still beating, beating,
             C         Dm
Then you are gonna be okay,
           Bb                     C
You've had millions of reasons to bend and to break,
    Dm                            F
But you're still alive and that's not a mistake,
    Bb
The war in your head tells a story that's still,
        C
Worth believing, 'cause you're still breathing.

               Dm
If you've been up all night,
            Dm            Bb
Thinking it won't get better.
           Dm
No need to wear your scars,
       Dm         Bb
Like a scarlet letter.
              Dm
You're on the ledge,
            Dm                 Bb
But not the end, it helped you see another way.

a broken heart,
            Dm              Bb
a brand new start, tomorrow everything could change.
