Kat's Mashup Brave/Roar[G] - Sara Bareilles and Katy Perry
G
You can be amazing
G Em
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Em C
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
G
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
G Em
And they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
C
Sometimes a shadow wins
D
But I wonder what would happen if you
G
Say what you wanna say
Em C
And let the words fall out
D
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
With what you want to say
Em C
And let the words fall out
D G
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
G
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Am Em
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
C
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
G
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
Am Em
I let you push me past the breaking point
C
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
G
You held me down, but I got up
Am
Already brushing off the dust

Like thunder, gonna shake your ground

You held me down, but I got up

Get ready cause I've had enough
