(Intro:) Em
Am
As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down
F
these heavy notions creep around
Am
it makes me think
F Am
long ago I was brought into
Am
this life a little lamb
F
a little lamb
Am
courageous, stumbling
F
fearless was my middle name
D
but somewhere there I lost my name
C
everyone walks the same
D
expecting me to step
C
the narrow path they've laid
C
they claim to
Em G
walk unafraid
Em G
I'll be clumsy instead
Em G D
hold my love me or leave me high
(same chords again)
Say "keep within the boundaries if you want to play"
Say "contradiction only makes it harder"
how can I be
what I want to be?
when all I want to do is strip away
these stilled constraints
and crush this charade
shred this sad masquerade
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me high
If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
look me in the eye
and if you see familiarity
then celebrate the contradiction
help me when I fall to
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me high
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me high
