Lyrics

(Bb)Truth is hard er than a (Ebmaj7)lie,

the (Bb)dark seems saf er than the (Ebmaj7)light,

and (Bb)ev ’ry one has a (Ebmaj7)heart that loves to (Gm)hide.

(Bb)I’m to a mess and so are (Ebmaj7)you.

We’ve built (Bb)walls no bod y can get through.

Yeah, it (Bb)may be hard, but the (Ebmaj7)best our thing crets we could ev er (Gm)do,

ev er (F)do:

So, Bring your (Eb)bro ken ness and (Bb)I’ll bring mine, ’cause (Eb)love can heal what (Bb)hurt di vides, and (Eb)mer cy’s wait ing (Bb)on the oth er (Cm7)side

if we’re (Bb)hon est,

if we’re (Bb)hon est.

Don’t pre (Bb)tend to be some thing that you’re (Ebmaj7)not,

liv ing (Bb)life a fraid of get ting caught.

There is (Bb)free dom found when we (Ebmaj7)lay our se crets down could at the (Gm)cross,

at the (F)cross.

So, bring your (Eb)bro ken ness and (Bb)I’ll bring mine, ’cause (Eb)love can heal what (Bb)hurt di vides, and (Eb)mer cy’s wait ing (Bb)on the oth er (Cm7)side

if we’re (Bb)hon est,

if we’re (Bb)hon est.

Don’t pre

if we’re (Bb)hon est,

if we’re (Bb)hon est.

It would change our lives,

it would set us free.

It’s what we need to be.

So, bring your (Eb)bro ken ness and (Bb)I’ll bring mine, ’cause (Eb)love can heal what (Bb)hurt di vides, and (Eb)mer cy’s wait ing (Bb)on the oth er (Cm7)side,

mm,

if we’re (Bb)hon est,

if we’re (Bb)hon est,

if we’re hon est.
