Eight

[First Part]

Em  C
I remember the minute
              Em         C
It was like a switch was flipped
                 Em                   C
I was just a kid   who grew up strong enough
             D
To pick this armor up
    Em            C  Em
And suddenly it fit
              C        Em                   C
God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago
Em                  C            D
I was little, I was weak, perfectly naive
    Em            C
And I grew up too quick

[Chorus]

    Am                       G
Now you won't see all that I have to lose
             D           Em          C
And all I've lost in the fight to protect it
        Am                 G
I won't let you in I swore never again
C          D             Em             C
I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected

[Second Part]

D         Em          C
I want to break these bones 'til they're better
C                          Em             C
I want to break them right and feel alive

Continues after the ad
You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong
   D       C
My healing needed more than time
Em         C                          Em                    D
When I see   fragile things, helpless things, broken things
            Em
I see the familiar
                                D
I was little, I was weak, I was perfect too
C
Now I'm a broken mirror

[Chorus]

            Am                     G
But I can't let you see all that I have to lose
         D           Em          C
All I've lost in the fight to protect it
        Am                  Bm
I can't let you in- I swore never again
          D             Em           C
I can't afford to let myself be blindsided

[Third Part]

    Am                  G
I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart
    D     Em           C
And all I want is to trust you
Am                 G
Show me how to lay my sword down
    D          Em          C
For long enough to let you through
G
Here I am, pry me open
G                        C
What do you want to know?
                        D         Em
I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough
            D
To hold the door shut
    Em          C
And bury my innocence
    G             Em
But here's a map, here's a shovel
          C         Em
Here's my achilles' heel

[Bridge]

C       D         Em               D                 Em          C
I'm all in, palms out, I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin
     D            Em                  D         Em      C  D  C
I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you i-----n

[Fourth Part]

     Am                        Bm    G
I'll shake the ground with a-a-ll my might
       D             Em                 C
I will pull my whole heart up to the surface
        Am                Bm
For the innocent, for the vulnerable
          D               Em              C
I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose
              Am                       G
And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, I'll give my sweat-
    D                  Em                C
An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken
              Am                      Bm       G
I'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again
       D             Em    C    D
Invincible like I've never be---en
