[Verse 1 – 4/4 | ~132 BPM | Key: G major | Chords: Em – C – G – D Guitars: broken-chord arpeggios, light overdrive, melodic fills between lines. Drums side-stick or soft groove.] Spent years with my fists up, fighting the tide Stacked false pride in a fortress, no one inside Every outstretched hand felt like a threat to me Bleeding out in silence, calling it “free” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – C – D – Em – D Arpeggios widen, second guitar adds higher voicings; drums open to full snare, bass starts to climb.] Every wall I built just turned to a cage Every quiet “I’m fine” burying rage Too scared to ever let anyone in Till I crashed on the edge of the life I was in ⸻ [Chorus – G – D – Em – C Strummed chords with ringing suspensions; octave lead outlining top-line melody for extra lift. Turnaround: Em – C – G – D back into verse.] So I opened my heart, still barely holding on Surrendered just to find that’s where I’m strong The only thing that changes everything Is letting myself be seen I’m learning how to love with my whole heart Everyone, no reservations Had to lose the life I’d built To find my own salvation ⸻ [Verse 2 – Em – C – G – D Back to arpeggios, but with more motion—little hammer-ons/pull-offs, melodic hook in the top strings.] Same old ghost in my chest signed the dotted line For every bad decision rerouting my life I look back now, I barely even recognize The kid who chose the fire and called it paradise Tried to fix my reflection by breaking the glass Kept replaying tomorrow, worshipping the past Swore I’d change and then I’d do it again Till I saw my fingerprints on all of the damage ⸻ [Pre-Chorus 2 – C – D – Em – D Drums push a bit harder, toms under the last two lines; guitars add small ascending figures into the chorus.] I’m not proud of the stories I used to defend I’m done throwing punches at the person I’ve been If I can’t forgive the one I was back then How can I love anybody else again? ⸻ [Chorus – G – D – Em – C Full band, double-tracked vocal, higher harmony on last four lines. Final tag on G → D to button the hook.] So I opened my heart, still barely holding on Surrendered just to find that’s where I’m strong The only thing that changes everything Is letting myself be seen I’m learning how to love with my whole heart Everyone, no reservations Had to lose the life I’d built To find my own salvation
