Am 
joanna, 
            C 
what if i told you you could run? 
            Dm 
what if i told you you could go 
                       E 
and never look back? 

Am 
joanna, 
             C 
what if i told you you could sing? 
            Dm 
what if i told you you could grow 
                      E 
and never be stopped? 
  
Am 
joanna,  
                C 
what if i told you you could live 
                 Dm 
without depending on the ones 
                       E 
that tore you down?

Am 
joanna, 
              C 
what if i told you you were strong 
                 Dm                       E 
that your will will get you through this

Am 
joanna,  
              C 
what if i told you that your eyes 
                       Dm                            E 
would never have to realize you've lost again? 

Am 
joanna,  
               C 
what if i told you that your lips 
                   Dm                                E 
would never tremble out of fear anymore, not anymore 
  
{Chorus}  
  
Am 
you can show the world you're ready 
F 
you don't have to go 
Am 
you can walk along those train tracks 
F 
you don't have to go 
Am 
you will show the world you're ready 
F 
you don't have to go 
Am 
you will walk along your train tracks 
F 
you don't have to go 

F                                     C 
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away 
G                                    Am        G 
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away 
F                                     C 
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away 
G                                    E 
Brown-eyed girl, don't run away
