Brave

Bm                        A
color me red, color me coal
            E                      F#
wrap me in black or a snide acid green
Bm                             A
tell me i'm bad, tell me i'm sick
                E                        F#
scream out your hate, be obsessed and obscene

Bm                              A
bind me with love, tie me with wire
E                                      F#
wrap me in gauze and then watch as i bleed

Bm                             A
poison your kiss, kill my desire
           E                        F#
deliver me pain and ignore all my needs


[Pre-Chorus]
G                              F#
i will not change, i will not alter


[Verse 2]
Bm                        A
staple my eyes, thrill to my shins
E                                      F#
gag me with lead and tear out all my nails
Bm                        A
razor my tongue, sew up my mouth
E                                      F#
feed me disease til my functioning fails


[Chorus]
G                              F#
i will not change, i will not alter
          A               E
for i am man and i am strong


[Verse 3]
Bm                        A
do all this to me, i just don't care
            E                    F#
blood is my wine and fear is my friend
Bm                        A
but please do not say i am not hard
                  E                    F#
don't say i can yield, don't say i can bend


[Chorus]
G                              F#
i will not change, i will not alter
          A               E
for i am man, i am strong
G                              F#
i cannot sway, i cannot falter
          A               E
i must be man, i can't be wrong


[Coda]
Bm                                      A
it's your fuckin' fault, you and your doubts
               E               F#
made me like this, colored me man
Bm                A
color me man
