let go and [E] gone with the flow and don't even know [A] really why.
questions or taken a dare, I've never worn clothes that might make people
stood up and [Bm] yelled [C] or even just held my [D] head high.
[A] unspoken, [E] all of [F#] the truths [G]
unsaid, [Em] they're [D] all I have left
never [D] [D] led.

I've never talked back, I've never slept late, I've never sat down when told to stand straight,
[G] I've never let go and [E] gone with the flow and don't even know [A] really why.
_ [D] I've never asked questions or taken a dare, I've never worn clothes that might make people
stare, [G] I've never [F#] rebelled or stood up and [Bm] yelled [C] or even just held my [D] head high.
[A] _ [F#m] And [Bm] all of the [Em] feelings [A] unspoken, _ [E] all of [F#] the truths [G] _
unsaid, [Em] they're [D] all I have left
[A#] of the [A] life I never [D] [D] led. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I've never gone surfing or ran with a crowd or danced on a table or laughed much too [G] loud,
I've never quite dared [F#m] to leave [Bm] myself bared, [D] I've just been [E] too scared I [C] might fall.
[D] _ I've never seen Paris, swum naked, been kissed, I've never quite realized just how much I've
missed, [G] and what did I get for [F#m] [Bm] hedging each bet?
[C] Another regret and [G] that's all.
[A] _ [F#m] And all of [Bm] the wishes [Em] unasked [A] for, [C#] all of [F#] the needs [G] _ unfed, [Em] they're all [D] that remain [A#] of
the life [E] I never [D] _ _
led.
_ _ [F#m] And now _ _
[G] that you've given me [F#m] one little taste [Bm] of _ it, [D] and [E] now, _ [G]
now that I [A] know what I [D] _ know,
_ _ [Bm] well have _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [D] _ _ no waste [G#] of it.
[Gm] [F#m] After all of the years [A] that I've clung [Bm] to my fears, [G] won't you help me let go?
[E] _
Help me [E] let go. _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] I want to be brave, _ I want to be strong, _ I want to believe I'm where I belong.
_ [G] To stand up and say [E] I'm seizing the [D] day, to not just obey [A] but to [F] choose.
And I may not surf, I may not see brands, but I have to know I still have the chance.
[A#] Maybe I'll make a [Am] [Dm] painful mistake, [D#] it's mine though to take [C] or refuse.
_ [Am] And all of [Dm] the doors [Gm] yet to _ [C] open, [A] _ the rooms [A#] ahead, [Gm] they're [Am] beckoning bright, [A#] scary [Am] and
new, but I'm standing [Dm] tall and I'm [G] walking through [C] what's gone, maybe gone, won't go on playing.
[Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] It's time to [A] start living the [C#] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
life.
