E                       C
I still remember how it all began
E                   C      D
I was broken, lying on the ground
E                      D       E
Then you showed up and gave me hope
    C                               B
And suddenly the weight was less to bear

E
You made my life feel lighter
C             D
Just by being part of it
E                 D
But you held up a mirror
              C                      B
And showed me wounds I didn't know I had

    C                    E
For you, I swallowed the silence
     D
Took every little crumb you gave
C                E
I kept trying to understand
     D
Kept finding reasons to stay
          C                  D
But every cut you left behind
    C                  B
Was still a choice you made

    E
And if I was the biggest fool
     D                       C     B
Then I'll wear this crown of ashes
  E                          D
I gave you every piece of me
             C
And I regret nothing
            B
I was who I am
            E
I was who I am

 D.. C.. B..

E
You hurt me in a thousand ways
C                    D
But I kept telling myself
           C
She's just tired
D               E
Her world's too heavy

           C
It took me time to face the truth
          D
It wasn't chaos, it was choice
            E
Maybe I was asking too much
          D
Maybe the problem was me
    C
But deep down I know
B                 C     B
I never did you wrong

E                   D
I gave I searched I waited
     C            D
I respected I was kind
    C                 B
But none of it was enough
C                     B
None of it was ever enough

    E
And if I was the biggest fool
     D                       C     B
Then I'll wear this crown of ashes
  E                          D
I gave you every piece of me
             C
And I regret nothing
            B
I was who I am
            E
I was who I am

 D.. C.. B..

              E       D
My heart's at peace
              C       B
'Cause in the end
            E
I was who I am
