D Dsus2 A/B Bm
I'd like to think that you
G9 G C7 Csus2+7
would know me by now
D Dsus2 A/B Bm
I'm not so sure myself
G9 G C7 Csus2+7
but I'm slowly reaching out
Bsus2 Bm G9 G
and I'm not the same
BbM7 Esus4 E
not ashamed, no longer afraid of the
Bsus2 Bm G9 G
way I can see
BbM7 Esus4
who I am, who I could be
D Dsus2 A/B Bm
I've waited for the world
G9 G C7 C7/Bb C7/C C7/D C7/E
to swallow me whole
not a trace to remain
this is all I can say:
I've tested the weight
stood up straight, no longer afraid to leave
something behind
still alive, I am still alive
D Dsus2 A/B Bm G9 G C7 C7/Bb C7/C C7/D C7/E
ahh----------h yeah
ahh yeah
ahh yeah
ahh (ahh) yeah (yeah)
