Crown Of Ashes

E                       C 
I still remember how it all began 
E                   C      D 
I was broken, lying on the ground 
E                      D       E 
Then you showed up and gave me hope 
    C                               B 
And suddenly the weight was less to bear 

E 
You made my life feel lighter 
C             D 
Just by being part of it 
E                 D 
But you held up a mirror 
              C                      B 
And showed me wounds I didn't know I had 

    C                    E 
For you, I swallowed the silence 
     D 
Took every little crumb you gave 
C                E 
I kept trying to understand 
     D 
Kept finding reasons to stay 
          C                  D 
But every cut you left behind 
    C                  B 
Was still a choice you made 

    E 
And if I was the biggest fool 
     D                       C     B 
Then I'll wear this crown of ashes 
  E                          D 
I gave you every piece of me 
             C 
And I regret nothing 
            B 
I was who I am 
            E 
I was who I am 

 D.. C.. B.. 

E 
You hurt me in a thousand ways 
C                    D 
But I kept telling myself 
           C 
She's just tired 
D               E 
Her world's too heavy 

           C 
It took me time to face the truth 
          D 
It wasn't chaos, it was choice 
            E 
Maybe I was asking too much 
          D 
Maybe the problem was me 
    C 
But deep down I know 
B                 C     B 
I never did you wrong 

E                   D 
I gave I searched I waited 
     C            D 
I respected I was kind 
    C                 B 
But none of it was enough 
C                     B 
None of it was ever enough 

    E 
And if I was the biggest fool 
     D                       C     B 
Then I'll wear this crown of ashes 
  E                          D 
I gave you every piece of me 
             C 
And I regret nothing 
            B 
I was who I am 
            E 
I was who I am 

 D.. C.. B.. 

              E       D 
My heart's at peace 
              C       B 
'Cause in the end 
            E 
I was who I am
