Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

C majorC        D MajorD     E minorEm
If I don’t say anything it’s wrong
C majorC        D MajorD        E minorEm
if I said it, it wouldn’t come out right
C majorC        D MajorD     E minorEm
It’s been keeping me up all night
C majorC        D MajorD      E minorEm
Half my life I’ve been told to shut up
C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
so how am I gonna open up
C majorC        D MajorD      E minorEm
wish you could just read my mind

Pre-chorus:
C majorC         D MajorD       E minorEm
If I shared all of me would you run away
C majorC        D MajorD     E minorEm
if I sugar coated what I had to say
C majorC        D MajorD     E minorEm
in poetry would it make you stay

Chorus:
C majorC       D MajorD       E minorEm
I wish I was born Bob Dylan
C majorC        D MajorD       E minorEm
Had all the words to speak my feelings
    C majorC        D MajorD
I wish I stood up like Rosa Parks
    E minorEm
and followed my heart
    C majorC
unafraid of the truth
    D MajorD
even if I stood alone
C majorC        D MajorD     E minorEm
I didn’t know how it was gonna go
    C majorC        D MajorD     E minorEm
even if the water was cold I’d take a deep breath
C majorC         D MajorD
and get it off my chest
      E minorEm
and hope for the best

Verse 2:
C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
They say either way you win
C majorC         D MajorD     E minorEm
if it’s mutual why hold it in
C majorC        D MajorD     E minorEm
and it’s not meant to be
C majorC         D MajorD        E minorEm
and you tell the truth it will set you free
C majorC         D MajorD       E minorEm
but all their wisdom doesn’t help me now
C majorC        D MajorD     E minorEm
I’m scared and I gotta find out
   C majorC
how to speak my mind
D MajorD               E minorEm
without metaphors and prose and rhymes
      C majorC
and still make you mine

Pre chorus 2:
C majorC          D MajorD    E minorEm
I hope you know what I mean when I’m acting mean
         C majorC          D MajorD
cuz I don’t say what I mean when I’m caught in-between
E minorEm
and I’m afraid
C majorC     D MajorD    E minorEm
the real you is eluding me

Bridge:
C majorC         D MajorD
And hope you will catch
   E minorEm
me when I fall
C majorC       D MajorD
and love me back
     E minorEm
when I show you my all
   C majorC
Fill in the blanks
       D MajorD
if I’m not making sense
  E minorEm
be patient with me
