====================

No capo

[Verse 1]

C#m G#m

There are shadows in my dreams

C#m G#m

Storms that steer me out of reach

A E G#m

And you just wait on my defeat

C#m G#m

So I built an army underneath

C#m G#m

And now they guard me while I sleep

A E G#m

And this worn-out frame will carry me

[Pre-Chorus]

A C#m

Don’t go holding your breath

You know that I’m not done yet

G#m

There’s still a fight in me left

A C#m

Don’t go shouting out loud

That you’re claiming the crown

G#m

I’m down but not out

F#m A C#m

And the bittersweet of every new defeat

E F#m

Is I’m stronger than before

A C#m

Baby, on my knees, but I still believe

E G#m

These broken wings will soar

[Chorus]

A B

Untie my silhouette

C#m E A

It’s all that is left of a broken heart

A B C#m

Leave all of my regrets to sink like shipwrecks

E A

Through oceans dark

[Verse 2]

C#m G#m

In the dust I wrote my name

C#m G#m

And from the ruins, hopes were raised

A E G#m

Cause all that’s lost can be replaced in time

[Pre-Chorus]

A C#m

Don’t go holding your breath

You know that I’m not done yet

G#m

There’s still a fight in me left

Don’t go shouting out loud

That you’re claiming the crown

G#m

I’m down but not out

F#m A C#m

And the bittersweet of every new defeat

Is I’m stronger than before

Baby, on my knees, but I still believe

These broken wings will soar
