Intro:
{D Dsus4 Asus4} x2
D Dsus4 Am G
D Dsus4 Asus4
Here's the edge,
D Dsus4 Asus4
this is the moment
D Dsus4 Am G
when all the fear floods in apace.
D Dsus4 Asus4
Time to clear my head,
D Dsus4 Asus4
my demeanour emboldened,
D Dsus4 Am G
of trepi - dation betray no trace.
Gm D Dsus4-Asus4A
Time to put on my bravest face.
Am Adim
Quite the nine-stone weakling,
F D7
who am I trying to kid
G Em
that I can carry all before me
Bsus4 B
as my heroes did?
D Dsus4 Asus4 D Dsus4 Asus4
Unafraid, oh what I'd give to
D Am G
walk the walk with my head held high,
Gm
to stare down my demons.
Bm F#m
But sadly I'm not remotely like
D
that kind of guy.
Am Adim F D7
Bluster and bravado, every human power,
G Em
I summon up what strength I have
Bsus4 B
to face what cows me down.
D Am7 D Am
Now's the hour. x3
G
Am Adim
Frozen in the spotlight,
F D7
frightfully exposed
G Em
in my sad efforts to sustain
Bsus4 Bsus4 B
a heroic pose.
D Dsus4 Asus4
Though I'm scared as hell
D Dsus4 Asus4
still I know it's only natural
D Am G
to feel so vulnerable and alone:
Gm Bm
in extremis we're on our own.
F#m
It's time to take my place
G
and hold my head up,
Gm
time to wear with grace
D
my bravest face.
