verse 1
C G
And in the water I could see
C G
A piece of what you broke in me
Em G
I took a walk my usual way
C G
I called to quit my job today
C G
And in these holy, empty hours
C G
When my quiet thoughts get louder
Em G
Saying you're born to be this way
C G
You're not made to be afraid
Instrumental

verse 2
C G
Sometimes my heart and brain conspire
C G
To set everything on fire
Em G
Just to stop the tyranny
C G
Of that minute hand on me
C G
We woke for golden morning hours
C G
Just to soak in all the power
C G
We weren't made to be this way
C G
We weren't made to be afraid
