**Capo 7**

Verse 1:
G5                                    C5                   G5
Looking back on the things that found me
E5                   C5          
Places I would never choose
G5                                           C5                 G5
The same things that both haunt and heal
E5                             D5
My demons and my muse

Chorus:
            C5                            G5         
We are crushed and created
            C5                    G5
We are melted and made
            C5                    G5                      
We are broken and built up 
           D5                E5 
In the very same way
            C5                          G5
What I thought I could handle
            C5                          G5
What I thought I could take
            C5                          G5
What I thought would destroy me
                    D5                       E5
Leaves me stronger in its wake

Verse 2:
G5                                                  C5               G5
And there are times that I've underestimated
E5                                                              C5
Both the grief and goodness found in something new
G5                                                         C5                        G5
Where one thing dies, something else can be created
E5                                                        D5                        
And though it's truth you find, it's innocence you lose

Chorus:
            C5                            G5         
We are crushed and created
            C5                    G5

           D5                E5 
In the very same way
            C5                          G5
What I thought I could handle
            C5                          G5
What I thought I could take
            C5                          G5
What I thought would destroy me
                    D5                       E5
Leaves me stronger in its wake

       Ooooo.


A5                                C5
I'm not the me that I started with
G5                               D5
My friends say my eyes are brighter
A5                               C5
I'm not the me that I started with
G5                            D5                       C5
I'm freer, and I'm wiser, and I'm stronger?
