Take all my vicious words

          G+G     C majorC
And turn them into something good


Take all my preconceptions

           G+G  C majorC
And let the truth be understood

   DmDm   G+G   C majorC
Take all my prized possessions

     DmDm  G+G   C majorC
And leave only what I need

   DmDm   G+G     C majorC
Take all my pieces of doubt

      DmDm    G+G  C majorC
And let me be what's underneath

Courage is when you're afraid

    FF    C majorC   G+G C majorC
But you keep on moving anyway

FF    C majorC    G+G     C majorC
Courage is when you're in pain

    FF    C majorC   G+G C majorC
But you keep on living anyway
