♫ Verse 1:

Am            Am
    I saw the end
G          F                 Em
  I saw the ending at the start
         F               G
Though I never said a word aloud
  Am                 Dm  Em
I knew it in my heart
Am        G
All I ever wanted
       F               Em
Was to make the smiles real
F               G
I felt that was worth the hurt
    Am                Dm  Em
And time it took to heal

♫ Pre-Chorus:

F               G
Though I knew I never could
  Am                Dm     Em
I swore I’d make it through
   F          G
If you repeat ideas enough
   Am
It doesn’t make them true

♫ Chorus:

Em   Am    G
   I tried
            F             G
To force my circles into squares
        F    G
And I denied
            Am                Dm
That what I wanted wasn’t there
  Em         Am    G
I looked for light
           F               G                F    G
In corners darker than the dark side of the moon
    Am                 Dm  Em
But still, in spite of you
  Am    G
I shine
       F               G
Like a lantern in the night
           F    G
Nowhere to hide
             Am               C    Bm
You’ve never seen me shine so bright
          Am    G  F  G
As I do tonight

F  G  Am  C

♫ Verse 2:

Bm    Am                   G
  You clipped my wings and cut my claws
  F             Em
I let it happen then
  F                G
I didn’t know what I was missing
  Am              Dm  G
Until they grew again
   Am                  G
So though it hurt, and oh it hurt
  Em           Am
I tore myself away
                           F             G
Sometimes you've gotta bleed  before you heal enough
   Am                  Dm  Em
To keep the dark at bay

♫ Pre-Chorus:

F              G
I could see so well in the night
            Am                 Dm  Em
That I felt blinded by the sun
    F            G
But easy doesn’t make it right
    Am
Sometimes it’s better just to run

♫ Chorus:

Em   Am    G
   I tried
            F             G
To force my circles into squares
        F    G
And I denied
            Am                Dm
That what I wanted wasn’t there
  Em         Am    G
I looked for light
           F               G                F    G
In corners darker than the dark side of the moon
    Am                 Dm  Em
But still, in spite of you
  Am    G
I shine
       F               G
Like a lantern in the night
           F    G
Nowhere to hide
             Am               C    Bm
You’ve never seen me shine so bright
          Am    G  F  G
As I do tonight

F  G  F  G  Am  C  Bm

I shine

  Am    G
I tried
            F            G
To force my circles into squares
        F    G
And I denied
            Am               C  Bm
That what I wanted wasn’t there
             Bbm   G
I looked for light
           F               G                F    G
In corners darker than the dark side of the moon
    Am                  C  Bm
But still, in spite of you
  Am    G  Am  Em  G
I shine
