[Intro]
E A C#m A
[Verse 1]
  EWe were just kids at one timeA  
Not a care, living free in this lifeC#m  
Who was there to catch us when we got knocked Adown?
  EPeople say you learn the hard wayA  
But you need the good and the bad daysC#m  
I've had my share of both and Bmore
[Pre-Chorus]
And I F#mknow I'll work it Aout
But I'm C#mterrified that I will let you Bdown
And I've got to Eknow
[Chorus]
Will I be good eBnough?
Will I be there to stand you F#mup?
Will I do things the right way?A  
Will I spend my days afraid?E  
Will I be good enough?G#m  
Will I know when to call your bluff?C#m  
Can I learn to surrender?A  
I found my love in the great unEknown
[Verse 2]
 EMoving forward, looking backA  
On what I built and all I hadC#m  
In a heartbeat, it's fallen Adown
 EAnd out of ashes comes a flameA  
To start again and give it a nameC#m  
To build it up and let it Bgo
[Pre-Chorus]
And I F#mknow we'll work it Aout
But I'm C#mterrified that I will let you Bdown
I won't let F#mgo of you Anow
'Cause I'm C#mterrified that I will let you Bdown
And I've got to Eknow
