**Capo 7**

Verse 1:
G                                    C                   G
Looking back on the things that found me
Em                   C          
Places I would never choose
G                                           C                 G
The same things that both haunt and heal
Em                             D
My demons and my muse

Chorus:
            C                            G         
We are crushed and created
            C                    G
We are melted and made
            C                    G                      
We are broken and built up 
           D                Em 
In the very same way
            C                          G
What I thought I could handle
            C                          G
What I thought I could take
            C                          G
What I thought would destroy me
                    D                       Em
Leaves me stronger in its wake

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

Chorus:
            C                            G         
We are crushed and created
            C                    G
We are melted and made

We are broken and built up 
           D                Em 
In the very same way
            C                          G
What I thought I could handle
            C                          G
What I thought I could take
            C                          G
What I thought would destroy me
                    D                       Em
Leaves me stronger in its wake

       Ooooo.


Am                                C
I'm not the me that I started with
G                               D
My friends say my eyes are brighter
Am                               C
I'm not the me that I started with
G                            D                       C
I'm freer, and I'm wiser, and I'm stronger?

Chorus:
            C                            G         
We are crushed and created

Leaves me stronger, stronger
