Guitar chords with lyrics

Key: Bm

Intro:

| Bm   A  | G  | 4x



Verse 1:
Bm                 A            G
 I wanted to find somewhere to hide
Bm            A                  G
 And I opened up and left those fears inside
Bm                  A        G
 And I wanted to be anyone else
Bm              A             G
 Only to find that there was no one there but me

Chorus:
Bm            A             G
 But I woke up to the real life
Bm              A               G           D5/F#  G5
 And I realized it's not worth running from any---more
Bm               A               G
 When there was nowhere left to hide I found out
      Bm                      A               G                D5/F#  G5
That nothing's real here, but I won't stop now until I find a better part of me


Instrumental:
| Bm   A  | G  | 2x


Verse 2:
Bm            A                G
 I let those hard days get me down
Bm             A               G
 And all the things I hate got in my way
Bm              A               G
 I could've screamed without a sound
Bm                 A                G
 I found myself silenced by those things they say


Chorus:
Bm            A             G
 But I woke up to the real life
Bm              A               G           D5/F#  G5
 And I realized it's not worth running from any---more
Bm               A               G
 When there was nowhere left to hide I found out
      Bm                      A               G                D5/F#  G5        A
That nothing's real here, but I won't stop now until I find a better part of me


Bridge:
       G          Bm        C#5  D5  C#5
That's out there somewhere
        A         G        Bm    C#5  D5  C#5
And it can't be that far away
  A          G            Bm    C#5  D5  C#5
That's where I'll find myself
          A    Bm  A   Bm    A    G
And I'll find my  way  out
  Bm         A         G
That's where I'll find out


Chorus:
Bm            A             G
 But I woke up to the real life
Bm              A               G           D5/F#  G5
 And I realized it's not worth running from any---more
Bm               A               G
 When there was nowhere left to hide I found out
      Bm                      A               G                D5/F#  G5
That nothing's real here, but I won't stop now until I find a better part of me
