“Brave” – Sara Bareilles
Guitar Tab
Capo on 3
G
You can be amazing, you can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
Em C
You can be the outcast, or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
D
Or you can start speaking up
G
Nothing’s gonna hurt you, the way that words do when they settle ‘neath your skin
Em C
Kept on the inside and no sunlight, sometimes a shadow wins
D
But I wonder what would happen if you
G D
Say what you wanna say
Em D C
And let the words fall out
Em D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G D
With what you wanna say
Em D C
And let the words fall out
Em D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave
G
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave
G
Everybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down by the enemy
Em C
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing, bow down to the mighty
D
Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
G
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Em C
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
D
Show me how big your brave is
G D
Say what you wanna say
Em D C
And let the words fall out
Em D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G D
With what you wanna say
Em D C
And let the words fall out
Em D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
Em G
And since, your history of silence
**Won’t do you any good
Did you think it would?**
Em G
Let your words be anything but empty
D
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
G D
Say what you wanna say
Em D C
And let the words fall out
Em D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G D
With what you wanna say
Em D C
And let the words fall out
Em D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
D
I wanna see you be brave
G
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
D
See you be brave
G
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
D
G
I just wanna see you
C
I just wanna see you
Em
I just wanna see you
