Lyrics

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.
