VERSE 1
        E       B4
The gate is wide 
                  C#m7         A9
The road is paved to moderation 
         E         B4                 C#m7    A9
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in 
      E       B4
Welcome to the middle ground 
     C#m7       A9
It's safe and sound and 
  E   B4         C#m7     A9
Until now it's where I've been 
                    C#m7
Cuz it's been fear 
                                   B4
That ties me down to everything 
                   C#m7
But it's been love, Your love 
        A9          B4
That cuts the strings 

CHORUS
      E      B4
So long, status quo 
 C#m7       A9
I think I've just let go 
  E  B4                        A9             E  B4
You make me wanna be brave 
        E                B4
The way it always was 
    C#m7                  A9
It's no longer good enough 

  E   B4                        A9
You make me wanna be brave 
E  B4  A9
            Brave, 
E  B4  A9
            Brave 

VERSE 2
E      B4
I am small 
          C#m7                A9
And I speak when I'm spoken to 
E             B4     C#m7  A9
But I am willing to risk it all 
      E           B4
To say Your name 
                C#m7              A9
Just Your name, and I'm ready to go 
E       B4      A9
Even ready to fall 
           C#m7                    B4
Why did I take this foul compromise 
          C#m7               A9  B4
Why did I try to keep it all inside 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE
 Ab                                   C#m7
I've never known a fire that didn't begin with a flame 
 Ab                                       C#m7
And every storm will start with just a drop of rain 
                 A9
But if You believe in me 
                       B4
That changes everything
