I (Dsus)don’t
(Dsus)know
just where I’m (Dsus)go ing, and to (Gsus2)mor
row
is a lit tle o ver whelm ing, and the (Gsus2)air
is cold,
and I’m not the same an y (A7sus)more.
I’ve been (Dsus)run
(Dsus)ning
in your di rec tion for too long
now,
lost my own re flec tion, and I can’t
(Gsus2)look down
if you’re not there to catch me when I (A7sus)fall.
If this is the mo ment, I (A)stand here on my own.
If this is my rite of pas sage that (D)some how leads me home,
(G)I might be a fraid, but (G)it’s my turn to be brave.
If this is the last chance be (A)fore we say good bye,
at least it’s the first day of the rest of my life.
(G)I can’t be a fraid, ’cause (G)it’s my turn to be brave.
(Dsus)All
a long,
(Dsus)all I ev er want ed was to be
the light
when your life was daunt ing, but I can’t see mine
when I feel as though you’re push ing me a way.
Well, (Dsus)who’s
to (Dsus)blame?
Are we (Dsus)mak ing the right choic es?
’Cause we (Gsus2)can’t be sure
if we’re hear ing our own voic es as we close
(Gsus2)the door,
e ven though we are so des per ate to (A7sus)stay.
If this is the mo ment, I (A)stand here on my own.

If this is the last chance be (A)fore we say good bye,

(G)I can’t be a fraid,
’cause it’s my turn to be brave.
Oh,
yeah,
oh.
And I might still cry,
and I might still bleed;
these thorns in my side,
this heart on my sleeve,
and light ning may strike
this ground at my feet,
and I might still crash,
but I still be lieve:
This is the mo ment; I (B)stand here all a lone
with ev ’ry thing I have in side,
(E)ev ’ry thing I own.
(A)I might be a fraid, but (A)it’s my turn to be brave.
If this is the last time be (B)fore we say good bye,
at least it’s the first day of the (E)rest of my life.
(A)I can’t be a fraid; (A)it’s my turn to be (E)brave.

About “Brave”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Brave"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature D. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.

- Brave is arranged in the key of D on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.

- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Brave" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 72 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
