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

  C       Em        Am
And as I thawed my heart out by the light
    Em
Of the silver screen
 G        D
I was unaware that you were there
    Am   Em
In the dark, a silhouette
  G        D
Was climbing up the stairs

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


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

   C         Em      Am
Cause that's when I was introduced to true
   Em
Serendipity
 G
I knew it when
      D
You showed up again
    Am     Em
In the snow, I was always told
   G           D
Your heart is where you're home

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

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