Coward - Troy Ramey
A#mI suppose I should let you go, 
C#Fear is all I've ever known 
G#A fever of a hidden man.D#  
A#mCan you tell I'm a hurting man? 
C#Can't you see I wanna be your man? 
G#This is all unfair.D#  
A#mOh, this is my call, 
I kC#now that you know, because you've seen my soul.
I G#was a lonely one, 
the D#shadows 
A#mSo, I put it all in this song, 
C#So you'll know once and for all, 
I was G#never home 
Before yD#ou 
A#mCourage, I need it, 
And gC#uilt, I feel it, 
With my hG#ands 
And heD#art 
Chorus:
I'm not a C#coward, but I did not fight. 
I've been in the sG#hadows all my goddamn life. 
Time to hD#ear my call.
Do you really know me?
Now it's C#time for me to shed some light. 
Out of the sG#hadows, I'll fight this fight. 
I can no D#longer live a lie.
How cA#mould I fight for you?C#  
My own flesh and blood is tied up, G#too. 
But I'll keep D#holding on, it's too familiar. 
So, taA#mke from me what you will. 
You're the C#one that I lean on, 
And IG#'m leaning still.D#  
ThA#mough I'd never call me brave, 
I'll neveC#r run away from you.     G#NoD#  
A#mI've been late to the fight, 
C#But darling not tonight.
I'll come rG#unning for youD#.
A#mCourage, I need it. 
C#And guilt, I feel it 
G#With my hands 
D#And heart 
Chorus:
I'm not a C#coward, but I did not fight.
I've been in the sG#hadows all my goddamn life.
Time to hD#ear my call.
Do you really know me?
Now it's C#time for me to shed some light. 
Out of the sG#hadows, I'll fight this fight. 
I can no D#longer live a lie.
Bridge:
C#This G#worD#ld sG#eems to offer me nothing 
C#SuppG#ose D#I shG#ould fade away 
C#But G#you D#know G#I'm not running 
C#RunnG#ing D#away G#  
C#Can G#you D#hear G#my call, it's so loud

Coward - Troy Ramey

A#m

I suppose I should let you go,

Fear is all I've ever known

G# D#

A fever of a hidden man.

A#m

Can you tell I'm a hurting man?

Can't you see I wanna be your man?

G# D#

This is all unfair.

A#m

Oh, this is my call,

I know that you know, because you've seen my soul.

I was a lonely one,

the shadows

A#m

So, I put it all in this song,

So you'll know once and for all,

I was never home

Before you

A#m

Courage, I need it,

And guilt, I feel it,

With my hands

And heart

Chorus:

I'm not a coward, but I did not fight.

I've been in the shadows all my goddamn life.

Time to hear my call.

Do you really know me?

Now it's time for me to shed some light.

Out of the shadows, I'll fight this fight.

I can no longer live a lie.

A#m C#

How could I fight for you?

My own flesh and blood is tied up, too.

But I'll keep holding on, it's too familiar.

A#m

So, take from me what you will.

You're the one that I lean on,

G# D#

And I'm leaning still.

A#m

Though I'd never call me brave,

C# G# D#

I'll never run away from you. No

A#m

I've been late to the fight,

But darling not tonight.

G# D#

I'll come running for you.

A#m

Courage, I need it.

And guilt, I feel it

With my hands

And heart

Chorus:

I'm not a coward, but I did not fight.

I've been in the shadows all my goddamn life.

Time to hear my call.

Do you really know me?

Now it's time for me to shed some light.

Out of the shadows, I'll fight this fight.

I can no longer live a lie.

Bridge:

C# G# D# G#

This world seems to offer me nothing

C# G# D# G#

Suppose I should fade away

C# G# D# G#

But you know I'm not running

C# G# D# G#

Running away

C# G# D# G#

Can you hear my call, it's so loud

C# G# D# G#

Call me coward if you like, I'm not proud

C# G# D# G#

Can you feel my heart, it's so cold

C# G# D# G#

Call me coward if you like, I won't fold...
