INTRO:  E Bsus C#m A2 E Bsus  A2 


Verse 1 
E                Bsus 
The gate is wide 
                   C#m                A2 
The road is paved in moderation 
E                   Bsus                    C#m     A2 
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in 
E              Bsus              C#m 
Welcome to the middle ground 
                           A2 
You're safe and sound and 
E     Bsus                       C#m  A 
Until now it's where I've been 


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

 
E           B 
So long status quo 
C#m     A 
I think I just let go 
E           B                         A 
You make me want to be brave 
E                B 
The way it always was  
C#m             A 
Is no longer good enough 
E         B                            A 
You make me want to be brave 
EB A        E B A 
      Brave,           brave  


E       Bsus 
I am small 
          C#m                  A 
And I speak when I'm spoken to 
E             Bsus    C#m   A 
But I am willing to risk it all 
E                Bsus 
I say Your name 
                 C#m               A           E 
Just Your name and I'm ready to jump 
         Bsus      C#m   A 
Even ready to fall... 


              A                         B 
Why did I take this vow of compromise? 
              A                              B 
Why did I try to keep it all inside? 

REPEAT Chorus 


G#                                     C#m  
I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame 
G#                                     A  
Every storm will start with just a drop of rain 
          E                   B  
But if you believe in me 
                       F#m7            A2  
That changes everything 
E Bsus C#m A2       E      Bsus C#m A2 
So long,                     I'm gone 

REPEAT Chorus  (ends on repeated 
A )
