Here are the chords and lyrics. If you'd like to cover this song, please credit me as the songwriter and link it back to my version.
capo 1
C Em Am F
I am trapped in my memories
Reliving my deepest regrets
C Em Am F
Then it finally hit me
The one that Iβd tried to forget
C Em Am F
When someone good and true loved me
And he went out on a limb
C Em Am F
I pretended it didnβt matter
Snuffed it right out
F G
and watched it break him
Prechorus:
Am C E7 F G
The truth is I was afraid
And when I am afraid I run away
So I ran away
Chorus:
C Em Am Fm G
Cause you are more
Than I felt like I deserved
Wish I had been braver
Why couldnβt I be braver
C Em Am Fm G C
And if I get one more chance
to tell you how I feel
Next time Iβll be braver
You taught me to be braver.
C Em Am F
Did you know that I loved you
That day we first laid out the tiles
C E7 Am F
All the peaches and plums we could eat
No signs of danger for miles
C Em Am F
In a whole other lifetime
We grew old, had a family at that
C E7 Am F
You and me, we worked for 50 years
F G
Who gets proof of concept like that?
Prechorus:
Am C E7 F G
I hate that I was afraid
But now I finally have the guts to say
Iβd choose you any day
Chorus 2:
C Em Am Fm G
Cause you are all
I could ever want and more
Wish I had been braver
Why couldnβt I be braver?
C Em Am Fm G C
And if I get one more chance
to tell you how I feel
Next time Iβll be braver
You taught me to be braver.
Bridge:
F C G
If I ever get out of here, Q
F Am G
Know that when Iβm braver, itβs cause I learned it from you
x4
Chorus 1 and 2
Lyrics and Chords (if you cover the song, please link back to my version of it):
G Em
This desk saved my life
C
This is where they were written
D G
The words that kept me alive
G Em C D G
My brain breaks sometimes
Then I find myself reaching
For those familiar spines
C D G
When I get lost inside the pages
C D G D Em
I just feel all of my pain melting away
D
At least for a day
Chorus
G
I just need a good fantasy
Em
To help me cope with this agony
C
Take me out of this moment
D D7
And let the magic carry me
G Em C D D7
So even when my heart aches
And Iβm not in the best shape
I can reach for a well-worn book
To give me an escape
G Em C D G
Will this time be my downfall?
Feeling like Iβll be crushed
Under the weight of it all
But somehow, you got through
To a world that was waiting
For someone just like you
C D G
I canβt wait to get to the good part
C D G D Em
You gave me hope that it gets brighter βround the bend
D
If I hold on βtil the end
Chorus
G Em C D
When you grow up
You donβt have to give up
What you loved when you were younger
Chorus
