[Verse 1]
Db      Eb           Fm
 I understand why you close your eyes
       Db         Eb       Fm
Why you deaf your ears, oh I realize now
Db              Eb     Fm
 You wanna feel nothing just like I was
Db               Eb         Fm
 A coward in the shadows no view from above

[Verse 2]
Db       Eb         Fm
 Now I'm alive, it's hard to explain
Db                 Eb      Fm
 It took this much time and took this much pain
Db       Eb      Fm
 You can get here if you're willing
Db             Eb         Fm       F
 Let go of yourself for a new beginning


[Chorus]
       Db        Eb      Fm
It was easier to sit than stand for myself
       Db           Eb F
It was easy to give in   than stand for myself

[Verse 3]
Db      Eb     Fm
 I know why you hide away
       Db       Eb   Fm
Why you keep so quiet, mind what you say now
Db                    Eb   Fm
 You think you're too much, too hot to handle
Db                    Eb         Fm       F
 You're stronger than anyone but still so fragile


[Chorus]
       Db        Eb      Fm
It was easier to sing than stand for myself
       Db           Eb F
It was easier to give in than stand for myself


[Bridge]
       Db Eb            Cm          Db
It was ha-ard enough to go and live on
         Eb     Cm              Db
I was so tired, trying to belong
                  Eb              Cm           Db
I was lost in the city, you could see it in my eyes
                  Eb             F
But I was still a dreamer in the middle of the night
