Brave

The gate is wide, the road is paved in moderation.

The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in.

(E)Welcome to the middle ground;

(C#m)it's safe and (Asus2)sound, and until now it's where I've been.

'Cause it's been (F#m7)fear that ties me down to ev'rything.

But it's been love,

Your love, (A)that cuts the strings.

(E)So long, status (C#m)quo, I think I just let go.

You make (B)me want to be brave.

(E)The way it always was (C#m)is no longer good enough.

You make (B)me want to be brave,

(Asus2)brave,

(Asus2)brave.

(E)I am (Bsus)small and I (C#m)speak when I'm (Asus2)spoken to,

(E)but I am (Bsus)willing to risk it all.

(E)I say Your name, just Your name,

and I'm (Asus2)ready to jump,

even (Bsus)ready to fall.

Why did I

take this vow of compromise?

Why did I

try to keep it

(A)all inside?

(A)brave.

(G#)I've never known a fire that (C#m)didn't begin with a flame.

(G#)Ev'ry storm will start with just a drop of rain.

But if (E)You believe in (F#sus)me,

(F#)that changes (Amaj7)ev'rything.

(E)So long,

(Asus2)I'm gone.

(E)So long, status (C#m)quo, I think I just let go.

You make (B)me want to be brave.

I want (E)to be brave.

The way it always was

(C#m)is no longer good enough.

You make (B)me want to be brave,

(Asus2)brave, (E)(A)brave,

(A)brave.
