[Verse 1]
Am Am
I saw the end
G F Em
I saw the ending at the start
F G
Though I never said a word aloud
Am Dm Em
I knew it in my heart
Am G
All I ever wanted
F Em
Was to make the smiles real
F G
I felt that was worth the hurt
Am Dm Em
And time it took to heal
[Pre-chorus]
F G
Though I knew I never could
Am Dm Em
I swore I’d make it through
F G
If you repeat ideas enough
Am
It doesn’t make them true
[Chorus]
Em Am G
I tried
F G
To force my circles into squares
F G
And I denied
Am Dm
That what I wanted wasn’t there
Em Am G
I looked for light
F G F G
In corners darker than the dark side of the moon
Am Dm Em
But still, in spite of you
Am G
I shine
F G
Like a lantern in the night
F G
Nowhere to hide
Am C Bm
You’ve never seen me shine so bright
Am G F G
As I do tonight
F G Am C
[Verse 2]
Bm Am G
You clipped my wings and cut my claws
F Em
I let it happen then
F G
I didn’t know what I was missing
Am Dm G
Until they grew again
Am G
So though it hurt, and oh it hurt
Em Am
I tore myself away
F G
Sometimes you've gotta bleed before you heal enough
Am Dm Em
To keep the dark at bay
[Pre-chorus]
F G
I could see so well in the night
Am Dm Em
That I felt blinded by the sun
F G
But easy doesn’t make it right
Am
Sometimes it’s better just to run
[Chorus]
Em Am G
I tried
F G
To force my circles into squares
F G
And I denied
Am Dm
That what I wanted wasn’t there
Em Am G
I looked for light
F G F G
In corners darker than the dark side of the moon
Am Dm Em
But still, in spite of you
Am G
I shine

Like a lantern in the night
F G
Nowhere to hide

You’ve never seen me shine so bright

As I do tonight

[Bridge]
Am G
I’m free
F G
I fly
F G
I live
Am C Bm
I shine
[Chorus]
Am G
I tried
F G
To force my circles into squares
F G
And I denied
Am C Bm
That what I wanted wasn’t there
Bbm G
I looked for light
F G F G
In corners darker than the dark side of the moon

But still, in spite of you

I shine
