Standard Tuning
Key: C
Intro:
F C F C
Verse I:
F C
We learn to wear these masks so young
F C
Like a prison that keeps joy from gettin’ through
F C
And an angry silence grips our tongues
F C
These weapons and our walls become our tombs
F C
Yes, we’re the kids who’ve seen the darkness
F C
Always looking for the light
F C
You fall in love and then the rains come down
F C
And only part of you survives
Chorus I:
F C
Come surrender your hidden scars
F C
Leave your weapons where they are
F
You’ve been hiding
Am
But I know your wounded heart
F C
And you don’t know how beautiful you are
Verse II:
F C
I’m tired of hiding who I really am
F C
Underneath these alibis
F C
I wanna know who you really are
F C
I wanna meet you here tonight
F C
Yes, we’re not born with these defenses
F C
We’re not destined for this pain
F C
We hide ourselves and put the fig leaves on
F C
But a mask could never cover up this shame
Chorus II:
F C
And where we’re headed is a world apart
F C
From where we started, we’ve come so far
F
I’ll take my chances
Am
Honey, you can have my heart
F C
Cause you don’t know how beautiful you are
Bridge:
Am C F G
Love Surrender
Am C F G
Love surrender
Verse III:
F Em
Future gardens from all this rain
F C
Future flowers from present pain
Am C F
We’re bound together and our lives are bound to change
[F] C
You don’t know how beautiful you are
Chorus III:
F C
And all the ashes of all these dreams
F C
I’ve seen the beauty of fallen leaves
F Am
And someday maybe we’ll find out what it means
F C
And you’ll find out how beautiful you are
F C
You’ll find out how beautiful you are
