On two feet

Head, heart and hands up
B F#
Giving everything

Just like you

B F#
And it's hard to do

You said keep my shit together when the world unravels, oh-oh-oh
C#m E
And put a brave face on in the heat of the battle

So that's what I did
[Chorus]
E B
When you said, "Navigate with your heart
F# G#m
Even if it's gonna lead you down to head rock bottom

May your actions speak louder than words

Give them hell as hard as it hurts"

The greatest pretenders
B F#
How they forget to remember
C#m E
Who they are fooling
B F#
Oh, who they are in the first place
C#m E
Don't shy away from the mirror
B F#
Don't complicate it, it couldn't be clearer
C#m E
Just burn that disguise
B F#
'Cause I, I see you, I see me, I see us
C#m E
I see all the years looking at you
B F#
All the years that you never lost but you never found
C#m E
I see fear looking dead at you
B F#
So give 'em hell at Heaven's gate
[Chorus]
E B
Navigate with your heart
F# G#m
Even if it's gonna lead you down to head rock bottom

Even if the higher ground is the place you've forgotten
E B
May your actions speak louder than words

Give them hell as hard as it hurts

I see a little kid crying in you

I see a little kid dressed in their Sunday best

Well, I'm a little kid crying at you

Don't you see me now? Don't you hear me now?
C#m E
Oh, wherever you lead, I will follow
B F#
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
C#m E
You're spinning all around out there
B F#
All alone out there but your home's right here, yeah

Navigate with your heart

Even if it's gonna lead you down to head rock bottom (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)

Go and pick up your head

Even if the higher ground is the place you've forgotten (It's the place you've
forgotten)
E B
May your actions speak louder than words (Louder than words)
F# G#m
Give them hell as hard as it hurts (As hard as it hurts)
