Brave

Bm                                G             F#
Let me tell you who I am.  I’ll write the story in my blood.
Bm                                      G               F#
My past self doesn’t give a damn. They died alongside everyone.
Bm                           G                F#
Silence left me terrified.  But it brought me back to life.
Bm                           G
In the dark, we’ll open our eyes.

[Pre-Chorus]

   Bm                A           G                 A
And here we are.  Alive so far. Burning out like shooting stars.
    Bm                A               G            F#
But withering, I’ve broken free of a curse that nearly killed me.

[Chorus]

Bm                                   A
We don’t fight for vengeance  We’re bleeding from our hearts.
      G                                       A
The nightmare lies behind us.  It’s too late for us to restart.
   Bm        A          G           A
But here is where good men come to die.
   Bm         A         G       F#
A price paid for our blind sacrifice.

[Verse]

Bm                                G                F#
Stumbling through a lucid dream, challenged by the toxic air.
Bm                                A              G
The battle lives inside of me. I see its shadows everywhere.
Bm            A
I was once buried alive.
G                      A
I still don’t know how I survived.
Bm               A              G                            F#
And fire doesn’t burn so well after you’ve dragged yourself through Hell.

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm                     A                G               A
But here you are.  My guiding star. What lies behind my beating heart.
Bm                  A               G                   A
We haven’t died. Burning inside, reclaiming fragments of our lives.

[Chorus]

Bm                                   A
We don’t fight for vengeance  We’re bleeding from our hearts.
      G                                       A
The nightmare lies behind us.  It’s too late for us to restart.
   Bm        A          G           A
But here is where good men come to die.
   Bm         A         G       F#
A price paid for our blind sacrifice.

{Bridge]

Bm              A               G             F#
Seconds are abstracted. We’re measured by our breaths.
Bm                A             G                    F#
But I’m not disillusioned.  We’re not fighting to the death.
Bm                    A                 G         F#
I can’t tell where the days end. The future’s infinite.
Bm                    A            G            A
But we’re in this together so I’m less afraid of it.

[Chorus]

Bm                                   A
We don’t fight for vengeance  We’re bleeding from our hearts.
      G                                       A
The nightmare lies behind us.  It’s too late for us to restart.
Bm       A      G            A
Here is where evil comes to die.
Bm       A         G            F#
Here is where the brave come to fight.
Bm     A        G       A
Today is our last sacrifice.
   Bm       A         G         F#              Bm
The road towards our beckoning light.
