INTRO:  E5 B5 C#5 A5 E5 B5  A5 


Verse 1 
E5                B5 
The gate is wide 
                   C#5                A5 
The road is paved in moderation 
E5                   B5                    C#5     A5 
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in 
E5              B5              C#5 
Welcome to the middle ground 
                           A5 
You're safe and sound and 
E5     B5                       C#5  A5 
Until now it's where I've been 


                         A5                                      B5 
'Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything 
                      A5                                          B5 
But it's been love, Your love, that cuts the strings 

 
E5           B5 
So long status quo 
C#5     A5 
I think I just let go 
E5           B5                         A5 
You make me want to be brave 
E5                B5 
The way it always was  
C#5             A5 
Is no longer good enough 
E5         B5                            A5 
You make me want to be brave 
EB5 A5        E5 B5 A5 
      Brave,           brave  


E5       B5 
I am small 
          C#5                  A5 
And I speak when I'm spoken to 
E5             B5    C#5   A5 
But I am willing to risk it all 
E5                B5 
I say Your name 
                 C#5               A5           E5 
Just Your name and I'm ready to jump 
         B5      C#5   A5 
Even ready to fall... 


              A5                         B5 
Why did I take this vow of compromise? 
              A5                              B5 
Why did I try to keep it all inside? 

REPEAT Chorus 


G#5                                     C#5  
I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame 
G#5                                     A5  
Every storm will start with just a drop of rain 
          E5                   B5  
But if you believe in me 
                       F#5            A5  
That changes everything 
E5 B5 C#5 A5       E5      B5 C#5 A5 
So long,                     I'm gone 

REPEAT Chorus  (ends on repeated 
A5 )
