      E       Bsus4
The gate is wide
                C#m7         A9
The road is paved to moderation
    E         Bsus4              C#m7    A9
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
      E       Bsus4
Welcome to the middle ground
     C#m7       A9
It's safe and sound and
  E   Bsus4         C#m7     A9
Until now it's where I've been
                C#m7
Cuz it's been fear
                           Bsus4
That ties me down to everything
                   C#m7
But it's been love, Your love
        A9         Bsus4
That cuts the strings

      E      Bsus4
So long, status quo
 C#m7       A9
I think I've just let go
  E  Bsus4          A9  E Bsus4
You make me wanna be brave
        E           Bsus4
The way it always was
    C#m7                A9
It's no longer good enough

  E   Bsus4             A9
You make me wanna be brave
E  Bsus4  A9
            Brave,
E  Bsus4  A9
            Brave

E      Bsus4
I am small
          C#m7             A9
And I speak when I'm spoken to
E             Bsus4     C#m7  A9
But I am willing to risk it all
      E           Bsus4
To say Your name
                C#m7              A9
Just Your name, and I'm ready to go
E       Bsus4   A9
Even ready to fall
           C#m7                    Bsus4
Why did I take this foul compromise
          C#m7               A9  Bsus4
Why did I try to keep it all inside

      E      Bsus4
So long, status quo
 C#m7       A9
I think I've just let go
  E  Bsus4          A9  E Bsus4
You make me wanna be brave
        E           Bsus4
The way it always was
    C#m7                A9
It's no longer good enough

  E   Bsus4             A9
You make me wanna be brave
E  Bsus4  A9
            Brave,
E  Bsus4  A9
            Brave

 Ab                                   C#m7
I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame
 Ab                                       C#m7
And every storm will start with just a drop of rain
                 A9
But if You believe in me
                       Bsus4
That changes everything

      E      Bsus4
So long, status quo
 C#m7       A9
I think I've just let go
  E  Bsus4          A9  E Bsus4
You make me wanna be brave
        E           Bsus4
The way it always was
    C#m7                A9
It's no longer good enough

  E   Bsus4             A9
You make me wanna be brave
E  Bsus4  A9
            Brave,
E  Bsus4  A9
            Brave
