[Intro]

| D | A | G | G |
[Verse 1]
D A
I am from the tiny town
G G
where I learned how to tough it out,
D A
where I kicked the dirt an' my dreams around
G G
to conquer the whole world.
D A
My uncle slipped me fifty bucks,
G G
some rolled their eyes an' wished me luck.
D A
Yeah, I spent the first night in the cab of my truck
G G
an' I am still that girl.
[Chorus 1]
D A
I like a challenge an' I like to fly,
G G
I'm not always perfect, I'm not always right.
D A G G
When I go to weddings, it always makes me cry.
D A
My heart is fragile an' I can be hurt
G G
an' I can crumble inside at the drop of a word.
D A
But I can jump off a limb into a river
G G*
of change, I'm taking back my [Interlude] brave.
[Interlude]
| D | A | G | G |
[Verse 2]
D A
I kinda lost it for a while,
G G
I had to force myself to smile.
D A G G
An' I quit going that extra mile, abandoned my belief.
D A
An' I spent hours on the phone,
G G
crawlin' back to my comfort zone.
D A
Then I woke up one day, said, "I'm not runnin' home,
G G
it's just not like me".
[Chorus 2]
D A
'Cause I like a challenge an' I like to fly,
G G
I'm not always perfect, I'm not always right,
D A G G
new born babies always make me cry.
D A
My heart is fragile an' I can be hurt
G G
an' I can crumble inside at the drop of a word.
D A
But I can jump off a limb into a river
G G*
of change, I'm taking back my [Bridge] brave.
[Bridge]
D D C D
I'm my momma's only girl,
D D
the child in a mess (I've always been that way).
C D
I've been pushin' the limits
C C
since I was little, yeah, yeah.
[Solo]
| D | A | G | G |
| D | A | G | G |
[End-Chorus]
D A
Oh, my heart is fragile an' I can be hurt
G G
an' I can crumble inside at the drop of a word.
D A
But I can jump off a limb into a river
G G* D A G G
of change, I'm taking back my brave.
D A G G
I'm taking back my brave, yeah, takin' it back, back.
D A G G
I'm takin' it back, back, I'm taking back,
D A G G D*
my brave, yeah, takin' it back, back.
