INTRO: Am  Dm  Am
 
PRELUDE:
                                 Dm   F
I am not afraid to show you who I am
              Dm           Em   Dm
And I am not ashamed of my life
                    F   Em                              F
Though I've walked alone  down this cold and soulless road
                     Dm         Esus4
I've always felt you deep in my bones
     Bb            C
With every step, I rise and fall
     Dm                           Bb
With everything to gain, I end up losing it all
 
When the darkness gets in
  C                                Dm     Bb  C  F  Dm
I scream out and your light sets me free

I'm not afraid and I'm bad for good
                               Bb
I used to dance to the devil's beat
                            Dm
If I could bust into hell I would

I'm not afraid of the faults you see
                                   Bb
I'm tearing down these walls right now
                               Dm
They're coming down 'cause I believe

      Bb                         C
And I wish that I could give you something in return
        Am                              Dm

For reaching out to help me cross the bridges I have burned

And in the end you'll finally see

That, baby, I've done everything I possibly can
                          C                             Dm
I'd do it again, 'cause I know you're everything that I need

I'm not afraid of the lies I hid
                                  Bb

I'm just a book for the world to read

My final words on the final page

Will be your name cause I believe
