Intro:

G 
I'm just a thought 
Cm 
Circling in a corner of my head 
G 
My mouth is sealed 
Cm                    F             Em 
My eyes are wide with words I never said 
          F#m 
People surrounding me 
     C                 B7                Em 
I'm shrinking back and hoping they won't see me 
          G    C      B7 
But suddenly I feel I can 
 

 
Am   D  Gm 
Here I stand 
             Dm 
What are you saying? 
    F        Eb 
I'm saying I believe 
        Gm 
Here I stand 
               Dm 
Your knees are shaking 
       F               Eb 
But my soul is holding me 
          Cm              F 
Don't you feel the fear inside? 
  Bb        F      Gm       F    Eb 
I feel that when I fight it I'm alive 
   D7     G 
So here I stand

G 
I'm so afraid 
    Cm 
But I won't let this steal my energy 
G 
Won't run away 
     Cm          F                   Em 
I'll use it as a force to strengthen me 
       F#m 
I am a fool, I know 
    C                   B7                 Em 
I'm falling apart and I am hoping it won't show 
           G      C      B7 
But deep inside I feel I can 
 

 
Am   D  Gm 
Here I stand

Here I stand 
               Dm 
Your knees are shaking 
       F               Eb 
But my soul is holding me
