Chorus:
                  [G]
I’m sending out a message to myself
               [D]
So that when I hear it on the radio
                      [Em]  [Gm]
I will know that I am fine,
                      [D]
I will know that I am loved.
  [D]                                  [Am] [Em]
I warned myself of the blackness in my chest
  [D]                              [Am] [Em]
The razors in my heart would never rest
     [G]                              [D]
It’s funny how you find just what you seek
[Em]                      [G]              [A]
Love is what you get when love is what you speak
Chorus
I made every choice along the way
Each day I spent in hell I chose to stay
It’s funny what you fear can make you weak
Truth is what you get when truth is what you speak
Chorus
[A]           [G]                         [D] 
So if you are listening I am just passing through
[A]               [G]                                   [A] 
You can take some for yourself ‘cause it works that way too
Sha la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la
I will know that I am fine,
I will know that I am loved.
Chorus
