Shield

C Am G
C Am G


[Verse 1]
C           Am                G
I've broken rules I've broken bones I've broken promises,
C       Am                 G
Only to stop ypou breaking me
Am                               G
  I've thrown my hands up almost given up before I realised,
         Am                              G
that the only one that I was hurting was me


[Verse 2]
C            Am                 G
I've made mistakes I've made it up I've tried to make it right,
C                  Am            G
Switched my broken bulbs to neon bright
          Am                            G
I've been building up my god all weight around me to surround me
    Am                        G
And allow me not to lose this fight


[Chorus]
Am             C                      G
  Sometimes it feels as if these four walls are the
     F                       Am
only thing that's holding me up
             C                     G
I started to crawl before I sat or kneel
G                F                 Am C
Sometimes it's okay to let down my shield
      G                F
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh


[Verse 3]
C          Am               G
 Finding myself I'm finding right I'm finding reasons
        C               Am          G
But sometimes I find it hard not to run
             Am                       G
I guess it's easier to pretend not to care
                               Am                     G
But it's not fair not when the truth is all we really want


[Chorus]
Am             C                      G
  Sometimes it feels as if these four walls are the
     F                       Am
only thing that's holding me up
             C                     G
I started to crawl before I sat or kneel
G                F                 Am C
Sometimes it's okay to let down my shield
      G                F
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh


[Interlude]
Am       C         G                  F
   Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, sometimes it's okay
Am       C         G                  F
   Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, sometimes it's okay


[Chorus]
Am             C                      G
  Sometimes it feels as if these four walls are the
     F                       Am
only thing that's holding me up
             C                     G
I started to crawl before I sat or kneel
G                F                 Am C
Sometimes it's okay to let down my shield
      G                F
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Am             C               G    F               Am
Sometimes it's, sometimes it's okay, sometimes it's okay
