Verse 1
  E      Esus4  E5 Esus4       E   Esus4 E5  Esus4 
I hate sticking out from the crowd
     E      Esus4 E5  Esus4     Badd4
I'd rather hide behind my thick glasses 
     E          Esus4 E5  Esus4          E  Esus4 E5  Esus4 
I'm much too shy to fight or speak out loud
     E          Esus4 E5  Esus4 
I'd rather scratch a chalkboard
       Badd4
Than talk about myself 
         A2      Badd4  E/G# A2     Badd4  E/G#
Oh, but you are all that I treasure
       A2     Badd4      D
It's time to share the wealth


Chorus
   Badd4  C#m
So if you ask
               A2 E/G#
I'll show my face
     Badd4    C#m
Yeah if you ask me
          A2          E
I'll go anywhere you say
       B        C#m                  A2   F#
I'll shout your name to the mountain tops
     A2     B
Alleluia!
            E Esus4 E5  Esus4 E Esus4 E5  Esus4 
Praise the Lord!


Verse 2
   E            Esus4 E5  Esus4         E   Esus4 E5  Esus4 
I can't believe the things they're saying about you
 E           Esus4 E5  Esus4 Badd4
Makes me want to curl up and cry
    E        Esus4 
I wish they knew
E5 Esus4        E Esus4 E5  Esus4 
How much you suffered
    E         Esus4 E5  Esus4      Badd4
To save them from the everlasting fire
         A2         Badd4 E/G#      A2     Badd4 E/G#
Oh, but tough times call for tough measures
      A2        Badd4        D
This time it's down to the wire

Bridge
B         C#m          A            E/G#
But your voice is so hard to hear sometimes
B          C#m                       A   E/G#
When the going gets rough I want to run away
B        C#m         A         E/G#   E
No one lights a fire to hide it from view
           F#
So let it shine
Let it shine
         Am7
Let it shine!
