Intro (x2): C  F  C  F  Am  G  C

Verse:
C           F       C
Take all my vicious words
F              Am    G        C
 And turn them into something good
C           F     C 
Take all my preconceptions
F            Am       G    C
 And let the truth be understood
C           F      C 
Take all my prized possessions
F      Am   G      C 
 Leave only what I need
C           F         C 
Take all my pieces of doubt
    F      Am        G    C 
And let me be what's underneath

Chorus:
F       C       G       C
Courage is when you're afraid,
         F      C      G  C
But you keep on moving anyway
F       C       G         C
Courage is when you're in pain,
         F      C      G  C
But you keep on living anyway

Verse:
Am   G       F       C
 We all have excuses why
Am        C              F     C 
Living in fear something in us dies
Am      G         F      C
 Like a bird with broken wings
             Am      C              F       C
It's not how high he flies, But the song he sings

Courage is when you're afraid,

But you keep on moving anyway
F       C       G         C
Courage is when you're in pain,
         F      C      Am G
But you keep on living anyway

 It's not how many times you've been knocked down
         Am   C         F        C
It's how many times you get back up

Chorus:
C       Am             G         C
Courage is when you've lost your way,
        F         C        G  C
But you find your strength anyway
F       C       G        C 
Courage is when you're afraid
F       C          G         C 
Courage is when it all seems grey
F       C           G      C
Courage is when you make a change,
        F       C      G  C 
And you keep on living anyway
