[Intro]
Bm A/C# - D x2
[Verse 1]
Bm A/C# D
I am not a stranger to the dark
G Bm A
Hide away, they say, cause we don't want your broken parts
Bm A/C# D
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
G Bm A
Run away, they say, no one'll love you as you are
[Pre-Chorus]
G A Bm
But I won't let them break me down to dust
A/C# D A
I know that there's a place for us, for we are glorious
[Chorus]
D
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
Bm
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
G A
I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
D Bm
Look out 'cause here I come, and I'm marching on to the beat I drum
G A
I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-oh

Bm A/C# D
Another round of bullets hits my skin
G Bm A
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
Bm A/C# D
We are bursting through the barricades and reaching for the sun
G Bm A
We are warriors, yeah that's what we've become

But I won't let them break me down to dust
