INTRO
E Bsus C#m7 A2 E Bsus A2
VERSE 1
E Bsus
The gate is wide
C#m7 A2
The road is paved to moderation
E Bsus C#m7 A2
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
E Bsus
Welcome to the middle ground
C#m7 A2
It's safe and sound and
E Bsus C#m7 A2
Until now it's where I've been
C#m7
Cuz it's been fear
Bsus
That ties me down to everything
C#m7
But it's been love, Your love
A2 Bsus
That cuts the strings

CHORUS
E Bsus
So long, status quo
C#m7 A2
I think I've just let go
E Bsus A2 E Bsus
You make me wanna be brave
E Bsus
The way it always was
C#m7 A2
It's no longer good enough
E Bsus A2
You make me wanna be brave
E Bsus A2

E Bsus A2
Brave
VERSE 2
E Bsus
I am small
C#m7 A2
And I speak when I'm spoken to
E Bsus C#m7 A2
But I am willing to risk it all
E Bsus
To say Your name
C#m7 A2
Just Your name, and I'm ready to go
E Bsus A2
Even ready to fall
C#m7 Bsus
Why did I take this foul compromise
C#m7 A2 Bsus
Why did I try to keep it all inside
CHORUS
BRIDGE
G# C#m7
I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame
G# C#m7
And every storm will start with just a drop of rain
A2
But if You believe in me
Bsus
That changes everything
CHORUS
