Verse:
C B/Am7 Am
Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears
F G C
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
F Em Am G F
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
D G
Do you think there’s enough that you would drown?
Chorus:
F
If no one will listen
G C
If you decide to speak
Am G F
If no one’s left standing after the bombs explode
C
If no one wants to look at you
Em Am G D/F#m
For what you really are
F
I will be here still
Verse 2(same as verse 1)
No one can tell you where you alone must go
There’s no telling what you will find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
It’s screaming every step, “Just stay here”
Chorus

C B/Am7 Am
If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
F G C
If your legs have given out under the weight

If you find you’ve been settling for a world of gray

So you wouldn’t have to face down your own hate
Speak Your Mind
