Verse 1:
E                                  F#m      C#m
Hold your breath, don't look down, keep trying
A         E                     F#m         C#m
Darling, it's okay to be scared, it's frightening
A              E                                  F#m             C#m
At times it just feels like the world is trying hard to knock us down
A               E                      F#m              C#m      A
But there's a reason that we're still here when no one else is around

Pre-Chorus:
             F#m
How we've grown
                        A
Every single day I'm proud
               F#m
I swear, I won't
                      A
Let anything stop us now


Chorus:
          E      F#m
I'm not a soldier
         C#m                            A
But I'll fight through our darkest of days
          E      F#m
Get on my shoulders
         C#m                     A
And I'll carry you all of the way
         E                          F#m
'Cause there's no life worth living in
         C#m               A
If you're not with me in it
          E      F#m
I'm not a soldier
      C#m                   A
But you make me wanna be brave
            E F#m C#m A
Yeah, you do


Verse 2:
E                                   F#m      C#m     A
Through the depths of despair, we've stumbled
E                                F#m          C#m
And all that distance between us, we've crumbled
A     E                                      F#m      C#m
We've ignored all of the rumours and jealous disapprovals
A     E                                          F#m      C#m
 And we've come out the other side with something beautiful


Pre-Chorus:
A             F#m
Oh, how we've grown
                        A
Every single day I'm proud
             F#m
And now I know
                                  A
There's nothing that can stop us now


Chorus:
          E      F#m
I'm not a soldier
         C#m                            A
But I'll fight through our darkest of days
          E      F#m
Get on my shoulders
         C#m                     A
And I'll carry you all of the way
         E                          F#m
'Cause there's no life worth living in
         C#m               A
If you're not with me in it
          E      F#m
I'm not a soldier
      C#m                   A
But you make me wanna be brave
            E F#m C#m A
Yeah, you do


Bridge:
                E             F#m
Only we know where we're going
                C#m                A
Every day we're gonna keep on growing
                  E                   F#m
Learning from the tears and the mistakes
                C#m                            A
We're not perfect but we've come such a long way
                 E            F#m
As long as I got you by my side
                C#m             A
I know what I wanna do in this life
                 E              F#m
One day when our kids fall in love
                            C#m               A
We can tell them that the odds were against us


Chorus:
          E      F#m
I'm not a soldier
         C#m                            A
But I'll fight through our darkest of days
          E      F#m
Get on my shoulders
         C#m                     A
And I'll carry you all of the way
         E                          F#m
'Cause there's no life worth living in
         C#m               A
If you're not with me in it
          E      F#m
I'm not a soldier
      C#m                   A
But you make me wanna be brave
            E
Yeah, you do


Outro:
                F#m
Yeah, you do, yeah, you do
       C#m                   A
But you make me wanna be brave
           E
Yeah, you do
       F#m    C#m   A
Oh yeah, you do
