[Intro] (x2)
C F C C Am F C C
[Verse 1]
Well Ceveryone's got soFmething they're afCraid of
And mAmy dear I feFar I'm losing yCou
But dCon't think I won't bFe there if you neCed me
It's just somAmetimes I geFt scared tCoo
And I knCow that my feFars they are unCfounded.
It's just tAmhis thing that buiFlds inside my brCain
If CI could just reFmember what you tCold me
You said, "FAmear leads to sFhame and you're not to blCame."
[Bridge]
But now aFs we Cgo
Down this Flong dark rCoad
We'll keep our eFyes fixed Amon one aGnother
With your Fhands in mCine
And some tFrust and a sCmile
We'll know thFere's no hill too bAmig for us to cliGmb
[Instrumental]
 C   F   Am   G(x2)
  C  FWoooo!Am  G  
[Verse 2]
So we'll Creach for the Fstars, but if we Amland on the mGoon
It's all Cright cause we Fknow we did the Ambest we could Gdo
No regrCets, don't forFget that Amsometimes Glife is Chard
I felt like Cshit when I Fleft and you wAmanted me to sGtay
But I felt gCood when I was Fbroke, because I gAmave it all aGway.
Oh it's wCeird and it's sFtrange
But it's Amnice when things Gwork out that wCay.F  Am  G  
[Chorus 1]
So we fCight
With our hFeads held high and we wAmon't back dGown
From these Cwars in this world,
From these wFars in our souls,
We just hAmave to beGlieve
We set ourselves fCree.
[Instrumental]
 C   F   Am   G(x2)
[Verse 3]
I looked Cdown on the gFraves from the MAmARTA trGain
And I wonCdered if anyboFdy really eAmver gets sGaved
Or is it juCst something Fpeople tell themAmselves to Gmake it through the dCay
But just Cknow that everytFhing is gonna Ambe all rGight
CDeath is too Fhard to conAmceptualGize.
I think wCe save ourseFlves when we lAmaugh with our fGriends, when we cCry.
[Chorus 2]
So we fCight
With our hFeads held high and we wAmon't back dGown
From these Cwars in this world,
From these wFars in our souls,
We just hAmave to beGlieve
We set ourselves fCree.

[Intro] (x2)

C F C C Am F C C

[Verse 1]

C F C

Well everyone's got something they're afraid of

Am F C

And my dear I fear I'm losing you

C F C

But don't think I won't be there if you need me

Am F C

It's just sometimes I get scared too

C F C

And I know that my fears they are unfounded.

Am F C

It's just this thing that builds inside my brain

C F C

If I could just remember what you told me

Am F C

You said, "Fear leads to shame and you're not to blame."

[Bridge]

F C

But now as we go

F C

Down this long dark road

F Am G

We'll keep our eyes fixed on one another

F C

With your hands in mine

F C

And some trust and a smile

F Am G

We'll know there's no hill too big for us to climb

[Instrumental]

C F Am G

(x2)

C F Am G

Woooo!

[Verse 2]

C F Am G

So we'll reach for the stars, but if we land on the moon

C F Am G

It's all right cause we know we did the best we could do

C F Am G C

No regrets, don't forget that sometimes life is hard

C F Am G

I felt like shit when I left and you wanted me to stay

C F Am G

But I felt good when I was broke, because I gave it all away.

C F

Oh it's weird and it's strange

Am G C F Am G

But it's nice when things work out that way.

[Chorus 1]

So we fight

F Am G

With our heads held high and we won't back down

From these wars in this world,

From these wars in our souls,

Am G

We just have to believe

We set ourselves free.

[Instrumental]

C F Am G

(x2)

[Verse 3]

C F Am G

I looked down on the graves from the MARTA train

C F Am G

And I wondered if anybody really ever gets saved

C F Am G C

Or is it just something people tell themselves to make it through the day

C F Am G

But just know that everything is gonna be all right

C F Am G

Death is too hard to conceptualize.

C F Am G C

I think we save ourselves when we laugh with our friends, when we cry.

[Chorus 2]

So we fight

F Am G

With our heads held high and we won't back down

From these wars in this world,

From these wars in our souls,

Am G

We just have to believe

We set ourselves free.

[Outro]

C F Am G

(x4)
