C#m                      G#m
There are shadows in my dreams
C#m                          G#m
Storms that steer me out of reach
A                        E    G#m
And you just wait on my defeat

So I built an army underneath
And now they guard me while I sleep
And this worn out frame will carry me

 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

Chorus:
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

In the dust I wrote my name
And from the ruins, hopes were raised
Cause all that's lost can be replaced
In time

Don't go holding your breath
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
And the bittersweet of every new defeat
Is I'm stronger than before
Maybe on my knees
But I still believe
These broken wings will soar

Chorus
A               B
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh
C#m  E            A
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh
A               B
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh
C#m  E            A
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh
