Verse 1:
              C majorC
In the basement of an empty house
              C majorC  D MajorD G+G D MajorD C majorC
I slept on the floor like a vagrant
              C majorC
I braved a Minnesota winter night
               C majorC  D MajorD G+G D MajorD C majorC
And drove to a movie feeling lonely

  C majorC       E minorEm        A minorAm
And as I thawed my heart out by the light
    E minorEm
Of the silver screen
 G+G        D MajorD
I was unaware that you were there
    A minorAm   E minorEm
In the dark, a silhouette
  G+G        D MajorD
Was climbing up the stairs

  C majorC
And what I thought
    E minorEm
In the parking lot
    G+G            D MajorD
Was like, I just wanna know your name
 C majorC
I drove away
     E minorEm
With not much to say
    G+G           D MajorD
But in my hand I held a paper bird
A minorAm     C majorC       D MajorD
And written on it were the words
  C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD C majorC  C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD C majorC
Be brave


Verse 2:
              C majorC
Wildflower knew I wasn't well
                C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD C majorC
But on the kitchen floor I got better again
                   C majorC
I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star
                  D MajorD   E minorEm  D MajorD G+G C majorC
And there, I was understood for the first time in my life

   C majorC         E minorEm      A minorAm
Cause that's when I was introduced to true
   E minorEm
Serendipity
 G+G
I knew it when
      D MajorD
You showed up again
    A minorAm     E minorEm
In the snow, I was always told
   G+G           D MajorD
Your heart is where you're home

  C majorC
And what I thought
    E minorEm
In the coffee shop
    G+G              D MajorD
Was like, the last eight hours was a dream
 C majorC
I drove away
     E minorEm
With not much to say
    A minorAm    E minorEm      D MajorD
But in my hand I held a paper bird
A minorAm     E minorEm       D MajorD
And written on it were the words

Bridge:

C majorC D MajorD  C majorC

C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC

A minorAm G+G C majorC    D MajorD
O k, I'll be brave

C majorC D MajorD  C majorC

C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC

C majorC D MajorD

A minorAm G+G C majorC    D MajorD
O k, I'll be brave


Verse 3:
  C majorC
And in my mind
   E minorEm
After all this time
    G+G             D MajorD
I think, ain't life beautiful and strange
  C majorC
I'm blown away
    E minorEm
With no words to say
     A minorAm   E minorEm    D MajorD
Cause I, I'll forever be amazed
  A minorAm      E minorEm       D MajorD
How I learned the meaning of the phrase
  C majorC D MajorD G+G D MajorD C majorC (4x)
Be brave
