verse 1 
  E      Esus4  E5 Esus4       E   Esus4 E5  Esus4  
I hate sticking out from the crowd 
     E      Esus4 E5  Esus4     Badd4 
I'd rather hide behind my thick glasses  
     E          Esus4 E5  Esus4          E  Esus4 E5  Esus4  
I'm much too shy to fight or speak out loud 
     E          Esus4 E5  Esus4  
I'd rather scratch a chalkboard 
       Badd4 
Than talk about myself  
         A2      Badd4  E/G# A2     Badd4  E/G# 
Oh, but you are all that I treasure 
       A2     Badd4      D 
It's time to share the wealth 



   Badd4  C#m 
So if you ask 
               A2 E/G# 
I'll show my face 
     Badd4    C#m 
Yeah if you ask me 
          A2          E 
I'll go anywhere you say 
       B        C#m                  A2   F# 
I'll shout your name to the mountain tops 
     A2     B 
Alleluia! 
            E Esus4 E5  Esus4 E Esus4 E5  Esus4  
Praise the Lord! 


verse 2 

   E            Esus4 E5  Esus4         E   Esus4 E5  Esus4  
I can't believe the things they're saying about you 
 E           Esus4 E5  Esus4 Badd4 
Makes me want to curl up and cry 
    E        Esus4  
I wish they knew 
E5 Esus4        E Esus4 E5  Esus4  
How much you suffered 
    E         Esus4 E5  Esus4      Badd4 
To save them from the everlasting fire 
         A2         Badd4 E/G#      A2     Badd4 E/G# 
Oh, but tough times call for tough measures 
      A2        Badd4        D 
This time it's down to the wire 

Bridge 

B         C#m          A            E/G# 
But your voice is so hard to hear sometimes 
B          C#m                       A   E/G# 
When the going gets rough I want to run away 
B        C#m         A         E/G#   E 
No one lights a fire to hide it from view 
           F# 
So let it shine 
Let it shine 
         Am7 
Let it shine!
