[Intro] E  A  E  A 

     E                                 C#m          
We flew just like two birds up to the stars
       F#m          C#m
As we left it all behind
          D              B7
We were lost inside the climb
    E                                 C#m                                   
It wasn't what I planned on from the start
       F#m           C#m  
I was scared of the fall
      D               B7
So afraid to give my all
     A        B7      E       C#m
But you came over me like thunder
     F#m                         B7
You showed me what I have deep inside

             A            C#m
You let me shine the way I am
        A              B7             E  E7
Let me be because you seem to understand
                 A
I'll stay right here
                C#m
So free, 'cause I
      F#m          C#m
I can cry, I can laugh
          D            B7  
And I'll never have to mask
         A      B7        E    A  E  A 
The way I am, you let me shine

  E                        C#m  
I say exactly how I think it is
           F#m          C#m
Speak the truth and go my way
       D              B7
Not afraid to make mistakes
    E                           C#m 
I want the world to be a better place
       F#m              C#m  
In my heart, through my eyes
     D             B7
Honesty, no compromise
     A     B7        E       C#m
You let me see that I'm a dreamer
     F#m                        B7        
You show me what I have deep inside

             A            C#m
You let me shine the way I am
        A              B7             E  E7
Let me be because you seem to understand
                  A
I'll stay right here
     B7         E  C#m
So free, 'cause I
     F#m          C#m
I can cry, I can laugh
          D            B7  
And I'll never have to mask
     F#m          B7       E   A  E  A  C#m  A  E
The way I am, you let me shine

       A              C#m
You'll never have to worry
      A              C#m
It's here I want to rest
     A              B7            E
It's here I learned how I can give my best
             A            C#m
You let me shine the way I am
        A            B7             E
Let me be because I know you understand
                A
I'll stay right here
   B7         C#m
So free, 'cause I
   F#m           C#m
I can cry, I can laugh
          D             B7
And I'll never have to mask
     A            B7       E
The way I am, you let me shine
     A           B7        E   A  E
The way I am, you let me shine
      B7                        E
Aah, let me shine - you let me shine
