[Intro]
G C G D
[Verse 1]
G C
Would I smile if I was broken.
G D
Would I dance on crippled feet.
Em C
Would I fall too far behind again.
G D
We run a race, I know I can’t complete.
G C
Would I give if I had nothing.
G D
Would I love the ugly me.
Em C G D
Would I try so hard to be so strong, when I know, that all I am is weak.
C
All I am is me.
[Chorus]
Em D G C
would I clench my fist, fall down and scream, at all I cannot do?
Em D C
Or dry my eyes, and crawl back to my feet,
Em
And stumble after you.
Em D G
[Verse 2]
Em C
Would I grin in my embarrassment.
G D
Would I laugh, when the joke is me.
Em C G D
Would I look you in the eyes still, when my crippled legs are all that I can see.
G C
Are all that I can See.
[Chorus]
Em D G C
Would I clench my fist, fall down and scream, at all I cannot do?
Em D C
Or dry my eyes, and crawl back to my feet,
Em
And stumble after you.
[Solo Section]
Em D G x2
[Bridge]
C G
So take my hands, if they won’t give.
G D
And take my life, so I can live too.
C
Take my eyes, if they’re on me.
G D
And take my heart, make it bleed.
Em C
Then take all this, up to a hill.
G D
And crucify the king of will.
Em C
Till all I have, runs down my face.
G D C
I’m a wretch, drowning in your grace.
[Chorus]
Em D G C
Would I clench my fist, fall down and scream, at all I cannot do?
Em D C
Or dry my eyes, and crawl back to my feet,
Em D G Em D G
And stumble after you.
