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

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
Em D G
Another round of bullets hits my skin
C Em D
Well fire away ’cause today I won’t let the shame sink in
Em D G
We are bursting through the barricades
C Em
And reach above the sun we are warriors
D
Yeah that’s what we’ll become
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em
But I won’t let them break me down to dust
D G
I know that there’s a place for us
D
For we are glorious
[Chorus]

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I’m gonna send a flood gonna drown them out

I am brave I am bruised
