Verse: 1
 
C
Dear anyone
Am
Who grew up believing that you were the one
F
And now I'm afraid that the doubting has won
C
Either way, I'm scared of you
 
The breaking is loud
Am
I'm terrified of what I'm thinking about
F
Maybe you'll hear if I say it out loud
C
Or maybe the silence is truth
 
Pre-Chorus:
Dm
Oh I just want to know
 
[Refrão]
G C
Are you making
Am
Space for my saving?
F
Or am I breaking?
C
Should I pray it away?
F
Pray it away
 
Verse: 2
 
C
Dear anyone
Am
Is it really you throwing punches at us?
F
Or throwing us out when we're coming undone?
C
'Cause I'm so afraid to be wrong
 
Oh, the voices are loud
Am
They're saying I'm dirty and going to hell
F
I'm starting to think I am screwed up as well
C
I just wanna know if it's true
 
Pre-Chorus:
 
(Oh i just wanna know)
Dm
Oh I just wanna know, I just wanna know
 
[Refrão]
C
Are you making
Am
Space for my saving?
F
Or am I breaking?
C
Should I?
C
If you made me
Am
Why do they hate me?
F
Never been this free
C
Why would I pray it away?
F
Pray it away
 
Outro
Am F C G
 
Am F C G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
C
Dear anyone
Am
I'm not really sure if I'm getting it right
F
But since I've been real, I've been coming alive
C
I think that you'd say the same too
