Dm            G            Am
It's been a while, I'm not who I was before
Dm           G                       Am
You look surprised, your words don't burn me anymore
Dm               G              Am
Been meaning to tell you, but I guess it's clear to see
          F                  Fm               C
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
         F               Fm                C
Can't be bad, I found a brand new kind of free

Dm                G             Am
Careful with your ego, he's the one that we should blame
Dm               G                 Am
Had to grab my heart back God know something had to change
Dm                      G                  E           Am
I thought that you'd be happy I found the one thing I need

Oh, it took a long long time to get here
           Em           Am      G
It took a brave, brave girl to try
         F             G       E            Am
It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
G            F                     Fm
Don't be surprised, don't be surprised

Dm                  G            Am
If I walk a little louder if I speak up when you're wrong
Dm                  G               Am
If I walk a little taller I've been on to you too long
Dm                       G                      E       Am
If you noticed that I'm different don't take it personally
          F                  Fm               C
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
             F               Fm                C
And it ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of free

               Em        Am          F
Oh, it took a long long road to get here

It took a brave, brave girl to try
         F             G       E            Am
It took one too many excuses, one too many lies

I'll never be perfect, but at least now I'm brave
