Capo 7 

Verse 1:
 
G                                    C                   G 
Looking back on the things that found me 
Em                   C           
Places I would never choose 
G                                           C                 G 
The same things that both haunt and heal 
Em                             D 
My demons and my muse

            C                            G          
We are crushed and created 
            C                    G 
We are melted and made 
            C                    G                       
We are broken and built up  
           D                Em  
In the very same way 
            C                          G 
What I thought I could handle 
            C                          G 
What I thought I could take 
            C                          G 
What I thought would destroy me 
                    D                       Em 
Leaves me stronger in its wake

Verse 2:
 
G                                                  C               G 
And there are times that I've underestimated 
Em                                                              C 
Both the grief and goodness found in something new 
G                                                         C                        G 
Where one thing dies, something else can be created 
Em                                                        D                         
And though it's truth you find, it's innocence you lose

       Ooooo. 


Am                                C 
I'm not the me that I started with 
G                               D 
My friends say my eyes are brighter 
Am                               C 
I'm not the me that I started with 
G                            D                       C 
I'm freer, and I'm wiser, and I'm stronger…
