Bravado

	  		

        Bm 
All my life, 
            G         A 
I've been fighting a war 
          Bm     G            A 
I can't talk to you or your friends 
          Bm 
It's not only you, 
     G            A             Bm 
My heart jumps around when I'm eluded to 
              G     A 
This will not do  
             Bm          G      A  
Cause I was raised up to be admired, 
        Bm   
to be noticed 
      G               A 
But when you're withdrawn, 
          Bm 
it's the closest thing 
       G           A          Bm 
To a someone who lies around you 
              G    A 
This will not do 

Bm  Bm   G  A (4x)


             Bm 
I'm thinking glory, 
         G             A 
Lick my lips toss my hair 
            Bm 
And send a smile over 
         G           A 
And the story brand new 
       Bm 
I can take it from here, 
      G        A       Bm    G   A 
I'll find my own bravado 


D                
It's a switch flipped 
It's a pill tipped back 
                 Em 
It's a moon eclipsed, oh 
Bm                                                              A 
And I can tell that, when the lights come on I'll be ready for this 
D 
It's in your bloodstream 

                                   Em 
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes 
Bm                                                      A 
It's a marathon run or a (inaudible) without making a sound 
D 
I was frightened of every little thing 
                   Em     Bm 
that I thought was out to get me down 
                            A 
To trip me up, and laugh at me, 
    D 
But I learned not to hold the quiet of the room 
               Em       Bm 
And the one around to find me out 
                                                               
I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go, oh
