Verse 1
E Esus4 E5 Esus4 E Esus4 E5 Esus4
I hate sticking out from the crowd
E Esus4 E5 Esus4 Badd4
I'd rather hide behind my thick glasses
E Esus4 E5 Esus4 E Esus4 E5 Esus4
I'm much too shy to fight or speak out loud
E Esus4 E5 Esus4
I'd rather scratch a chalkboard
Badd4
Than talk about myself
A2 Badd4 E/G# A2 Badd4 E/G#
Oh, but you are all that I treasure
A2 Badd4 D
It's time to share the wealth

Chorus
Badd4 C#m
So if you ask
A2 E/G#
I'll show my face
Badd4 C#m
Yeah if you ask me
A2 E
I'll go anywhere you say
B C#m A2 F#
I'll shout your name to the mountain tops
A2 B
Alleluia!
E Esus4 E5 Esus4 E Esus4 E5 Esus4
Praise the Lord!
Verse 2
E Esus4 E5 Esus4 E Esus4 E5 Esus4
I can't believe the things they're saying about you
E Esus4 E5 Esus4 Badd4
Makes me want to curl up and cry
E Esus4
I wish they knew
E5 Esus4 E Esus4 E5 Esus4
How much you suffered
E Esus4 E5 Esus4 Badd4
To save them from the everlasting fire
A2 Badd4 E/G# A2 Badd4 E/G#
Oh, but tough times call for tough measures
A2 Badd4 D
This time it's down to the wire
Bridge
B C#m A E/G#
But your voice is so hard to hear sometimes
B C#m A E/G#
When the going gets rough I want to run away
B C#m A E/G# E
No one lights a fire to hide it from view
F#
So let it shine
Let it shine
Am7
Let it shine!
