Brave

Intro 
Am       Dm 
   Mm-hm-hm 
      Dm 
Mm-hm-hm 
     Em 
Eeh-eeh, yeah 

 
               Am 
Sometimes it's hard to smile 
                    Dm 
When no hurt feels against us 
                          Dm 
When the tears are on the pavement 
                           Em 
Ooh, and I see it in their eyes 
               Am 
Sometimes it's hard to smile 
                      Dm 
When the world feels against us 
                        Dm 
When my blood is on the pavement 
                Em         N.C. 
Sometimes it'll all subside 

 
                        Am 
Love's trying to be my friend 
                                Dm 
What'cha gonna do if I hand you my heart? 
                            Dm 
I think that maybe now it's my time 
                     Em 
And I can't stand to lose 

 
               Am 
Sometimes it's hard 
                                           Am 
And I know, and we know, and you know that it's been hard 
Dm 
  And I learn, and you learn, to keep up a fighting stance 
     Dm                                       Em 
Will I see the day I don't feel the need to defend myself? 


         Am 
But, if I  get caught in the losing race 
      Am 
Can a mother's hold change a baby's fate? 
      Dm                                               Em 
I get sick, I get tired, of carrying this weight on my mind 
         Am 
And with every step that I've got to take 
           Dm 
Don't know how much more that a heart can break 
       Dm                                         Em 
I'm so sick, I'm so tired, I can't keep losing my mind 


 
            Am 
I wanna be brave 
              Dm 
I wanna be in love 
                          Dm 
It's time I stop running away 
                                        Em 
I should stay, I should stay, I should stay 

Outro 
                        Am 
Love's trying to be my friend 
                                         Dm 
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying 
           Dm 
Don't go in, please, don't go in, please, don't go in 
                        Em 
Love's trying to be my friend 

Am Dm
