The gate is wide, the road is paved in mod er a tion.

The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in.

Wel come to the mid dle ground; it’s safe and sound, and un til now it’s where I’ve been.

’Cause it’s been (F#m7)fear

that ties me down to ev ’ry thing.

But it’s been (F#m7)love,

Your love, that cuts the strings.

So long, sta tus quo,

I think I just let go.

You make me want to be brave.

The way it al ways was

is no long er good e nough.

You make me want to be brave,

(Asus2)brave,

(Asus2)brave.

I am (Bsus)small and I (C#m)speak when I’m (Asus2)spo ken to,

but I am (Bsus)will ing to risk it all.

I say Your name, just Your name, and I’m (Asus2)read y to jump,

e ven (Bsus)read y to fall.

Why did I

take this vow of com pro mise?

Why did I

try to keep it

all in side?

(A)brave.

I’ve nev er known a fire that (C#m)did n’t be gin with a flame.

Ev ’ry storm will start with just a drop of rain.

But if (E)You be lieve in (F#sus)me,

that chang es (Amaj7)ev ’ry thing.

So

long,

I’m

gone.

So long, sta tus quo,

I think I just let go.

You make me want to be brave.

I want (E)to be brave.

The way it al ways was

is no long er good e nough.

You make me want to be brave,

(Asus2)brave,

(A)brave,

(A)brave.
