Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
C
Dear anyone
              Am
Who grew up believing that you were the one
               F
And now I'm afraid that the doubting has won
          C
Either way, I'm scared of you

The breaking is loud
             Am
I'm terrified of what I'm thinking about
            F
Maybe you'll hear if I say it out loud
          C
Or maybe the silence is truth

Pre-Chorus:
 Dm
Oh I just want to know


Chorus 1:
   G C
Are you making
       Am
Space for my saving?
     F
Or am I breaking?
     C
Should I pray it away?
 F
Pray it away


Verse 2:
C
Dear anyone
              Am
Is it really you throwing punches at us?
               F
Or throwing us out when we're coming undone?
              C
'Cause I'm so afraid to be wrong

Oh, the voices are loud
               Am
They're saying I'm dirty and going to hell
               F
I'm starting to think I am screwed up as well
             C
I just wanna know if it's true


Pre-Chorus:

(Oh i just wanna know)
 Dm
Oh I just wanna know, I just wanna know


Chorus 2:
     C
Are you making
        Am
Space for my saving?
      F
Or am I breaking?
    C
Should I?
      C
If you made me
        Am
Why do they hate me?
        F
Never been this free
        C
Why would I pray it away?
 F
Pray it away


Outro:
Am  F  C  G

Am  F  C  G
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
C
Dear anyone
               Am
I'm not really sure if I'm getting it right
                   F
But since I've been real, I've been coming alive
                 C
I think that you'd say the same too
