Brave

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

{Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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