Tuning: E A D G B E Intro: C C Verse: C Have you ever held your breath G On the water's edge? G7 Known that it was fight or flight C On an unstable ledge F Picked up the pieces C Am Of a promise or a pledge
Pre-Chorus: G Then you know what it's like Am You know what it takes F G You know in your heart how it feels Chorus: Dm To be a woman C To be a woman Verse: C Have you ever found some hope G In the emptiness? G7 Suffered burns and breaks C And called yourself blessed F Overcome the fear C Am And found the courage to say "Yes" Pre-Chorus: G Then you know what it's like Am You know what it takes F G And you know in your heart how it feels Chorus: Dm To be a woman C Oh, to be a woman Dm To be a woman C Oh, to be a woman Break: C C G/B Am Believed that the dark Dm Bleeds into dawn F Found something right G When everything was all wrong Dm Oh oh ohhhhhh [Instrumental] Dm C C Dm Dm C C Verse: C Have you ever talked it out G Over coffee cups? G Knowing that forgiveness C Will always be rough F Do you believe that there's nothing C Am More powerful than love?
