Verse
C#m G#m
There are shadows in my dreams
C#m G#m
Storms that send me out of reach
A E G#m
And you just wait on my defeat
C#m G#m
So I built an army underneath
C#m G#m
And now they guard me while I sleep
A E G#m
And this worn-out frame will carry me
Pre-Chorus
A C#m
Don’t go holding your breath
E
You know that I’m not done yet
G#m
There’s still a fight in me left
A C#m
Don’t go shouting out loud
E
That you’re claiming the crown
G#m
I’m down but not out
F#m A C#m
And the bittersweet of every new defeat
E F#m
Is I’m stronger than before
A C#m
Baby, on my knees, but I still believe
E G#m
These broken wings will soar
[Refrão]A B
Untie my silhouette,
C#m E A
It’s all that is left of a broken heart
A B C#m
Leave all of my regrets to sink like shipwrecks
E A
Through oceans dark
Verse

C#m G#m
And from the ruins, hopes were raised

Cause all that’s lost can be replaced in time
Pre-Chorus
A C#m
Don’t go holding your breath
E
You know that I’m not done yet

There’s still a fight in me left

Don’t go shouting out loud

That you’re claiming the crown

I’m down but not out

These broken wings will soar
