Capo on 4th fret
               
 
 
G,Em,C,G,D 
Oooooo x3 
 
G 
Staring me down in the mirror 
                 Em 
How long will it take til these cracks disappear? 
        C 
Feeling ashamed, forgetting my name 
            G  D 
Where did I go? 
G 
Praying to God for a cure 
            Em 
It's so dysfunctional here in the hurt 
          C 
Lost and confused, feeling the wounds 
         G  (D) 
Where do I go? 
 
      G 
Every dim shade of gray in my scars 
          Em 
All of the mess I have left in the dark 
                C 
Still the light shines through the cracks in my heart 
                G  D 
It's proof I'm alive 
G Em C G D 
Oooooo x3 
 
(like the 1st Verse: G, Em, C, G, D) 
G 
Climbing the height of my walls 
              Em 
Watching them crumble beneath me in awe 
         C                 G 
I will be brave, I will be safe 
             D 
Here in your arms 
G 
Now there's no room for afraid 
            Em 
Breaking the boundaries to make myself brave 
            C                   G 
Hearing the change, turning the page 
          D 
And now I am free 
 
      G 
Every dim shade of gray in my scars 
          Em 
All of the mess I have left in the dark 
                C 
Still the light shines through the cracks in my heart 
                G  D 
It's proof I'm alive 
G Em C G D 
Oooooo x3 
 
Ahhhhh 
 
G 
Give it all away, give it all away 
Em 
It's gonna be okay, gonna be okay 
C 
I give it all away, give it all away 
G                            D 
It's gonna be okay, gonna be okay 
 
      G 
Every dim shade of gray in my scars 
          Em 
All of the mess I have left in the dark 
                C 
Still the light shines through the cracks in my heart 
                G  D 
It's proof I'm alive 
G Em C G D 
Oooooo x3 
 
      G 
Every dim shade of gray in my scars 
          Em 
All of the mess I have left in the dark 
                C 
Still the light shines through the cracks in my heart 
                G  D 
It's proof I'm alive 
G Em C G D 
Oooooo x3 
 
G Em C G D 
Ohhhhh x3 
 
I'm alive, I'm alive
