UKULELE CHORDS

remove these ads
Verse 1:
Gm  Eb      -nc-
I remember the minute
              Gm         Eb
It was like a switch was flipped
                 Gm                   Eb
I was just a kid   who grew up strong enough
             F
To pick this armor up
    Gm            Eb  Gm
And suddenly it fit
              Eb        Gm                   Eb
God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago...
Gm                  Eb            F
I was little, I was weak, perfectly naive
    Gm            Eb
And I grew up too quick

Refrain:
    Cm                       Bb
Now you won't see all that I have to lose
             F           Gm          Eb
And all I've lost in the fight to protect it
        Cm                 Bb
I won't let you in I swore never again
Eb          F             Gm             Eb
I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected

Verse 2:
F         Gm          Eb
I want to break these bones 'til they're better
Eb                          Gm             Eb
I want to break them right and feel alive

You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong
   F       Eb
My healing needed more than time
Gm         Eb                          Gm                    F
When I see   fragile things, helpless things, broken things
            Gm
I see the familiar
                                F
I was little, I was weak, I was perfect too
Eb
Now I'm a broken mirror

Refrain:
            Cm                     Bb
But I can't let you see all that I have to lose
         F           Gm          Eb
All I've lost in the fight to protect it
        Cm                  Dm
I can't let you in- I swore never again
          F             Gm           Eb
I can't afford to let myself be blindsided

Verse 3:
    Cm                  Bb
I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart
    F     Gm           Eb
And all I want is to trust you
Cm                 Bb
Show me how to lay my sword down
    F          Gm          Eb
For long enough to let you through
Bb
Here I am, pry me open
Bb                        Eb
What do you want to know?
                        F         Gm
I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough
            F
To hold the door shut
    Gm          Eb
And bury my innocence
    Bb             Gm
But here's a map, here's a shovel
          Eb         Gm
Here's my achilles' heel

Bridge:
Eb       F         Gm               F                 Gm          Eb
I'm all in, palms out, I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin
     F            Gm                  F         Gm      Eb  F  Eb
I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you i-----n

Verse 4:
     Cm                        Dm    Bb
I'll shake the ground with a-a-ll my might
       F             Gm                 Eb
I will pull my whole heart up to the surface
        Cm                Dm
For the innocent, for the vulnerable
          F               Gm              Eb
I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose
              Cm                       Bb
And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, I'll give my sweat-
    F                  Gm                Eb
An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken
              Cm                      Dm       Bb
I'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again
       F             Gm    Eb    F
Invincible like I've never be---en
