Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh
Abm Gb B   E       B
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Verse 1:
Abm             Gb
I heard the talk
         B     E
I wish I never listened
                     B     Abm
It's so hard letting go of it
                   Gb
The sharpest knives
              B         E
Are whispered harsh opinions

                       B        Abm
And what did I have to show for it?
                          Gb
Like a glass hits the floor
              B             E
My world was shattered and broken
                   B                  Ebm
Couple years I was coping and holding in

Pre-chorus:
             Dbm
I had no words
                    Ebm
Couldn't make a sound
              E
I took my time

But I'm here right now

Chorus:
B
I spent so long inside my head
    Dbm              Abm
The pain, the tears, secrets I kept
    Dbm                Abm           Gb
In fear one day they'd be the end of me
    B
And all at once it all makes sense
  Dbm             Abm
I had to break, I had to bend
  Dbm          Abm              Gb
I had to lose myself to finally see
         Dbm         B
I am the girl that I am
                E             Abm
Because of the girl I used to be

Interlude:
Gb    B
Ah, ah, ah
E          Abm
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Verse 2:
Abm             Gb
I bared my truth
             B           E
Not knowing what would follow
                           Abm
And I would do it all again
                     Gb
Time heals all wounds
             B      E
But leaves a pretty scar though
                         Ebm
Stronger than I've ever been

Pre-chorus:
                    Dbm
'Cause I found my words
                    Ebm
So I'll sing 'em loud
                 E
Guess all the hurt

Got me here now

Chorus:
B
I spent so long inside my head
    Dbm              Abm
The pain, the tears, secrets I kept
    Dbm                Abm           Gb
In fear one day they'd be the end of me
    B
And all at once it all makes sense
  Dbm             Abm
I had to break, I had to bend
  Dbm          Abm              Gb
I had to lose myself to finally see
         Dbm         B
I am the girl that I am
                E             Abm
Because of the girl I used to be

Pre-chorus:
              Gb             B                    E
(It all makes sense, it all, it all, it all makes sense)

'Cause I found my words
         Abm
So I'll sing 'em loud
                  Gb            B               E
(I had to let you in, to let you in, to let you see)
              E
Guess all the hurt

Got me here now

Chorus:
B
I spent so long inside my head
    Dbm              Abm
The pain, the tears, secrets I kept
    Dbm                Abm           Gb
In fear one day they'd be the end of me

Outro:
         Dbm7        B
I am the girl that I am
                         E
Because of what I went through
         Dbm         B
I am the girl that I am
           E
Partly because of you
         Dbm        B
I am the girl that I am
                E             B
Because of the girl I used to be
