Intro:

verse 1: 

G                       C 
Truth is harder than a lie 
G                          C 
Dark seems safer than the light 
G               C                   Em   D 
Everyone has a heart that loves to hide 
G                      C 
I’m a mess and so are you 
             G                    C 
We’ve built walls nobody can get through 
 G 
Yeah it may be hard 
         C                 Em       D 
But the best thing we ever do, ever do 




            C 
Bring your brokenness 
     G 
And I’ll bring mine 
        C                  G 
‘Cause love can heal what hurt divides 
     C               Em            Am 
And mercy is waiting on the other side 
          G    C 
If we’re honest 
          G    C 
If we’re honest 


verse 2: 

         G                                 C 
Don’t pretend to be something that you’re not 
        G                      C 
Living life afraid of getting caught 
           G 
There is freedom found 
         C 
When we lay our secrets down 
        Em 
At the cross 
        D 
At the cross 


Repeat Chorus 

Em                   B7 
And it’ll change our lives 
                   G/B 
And it will set us free 
                    A7 
It’s why we need to be 

Repeat Chorus
