Dm               F               C
Pain comes, lonely weekend, shoulder,
             F
been here before
Locked up, stepped on, so prominent,
so loud, I can't belong
Only by my so wide-eyed other side,
I can't belong
Rain comes, priceless, do whatever
works best, been here before

Chorus:
Dm                        C
If I could be good enough, then
I would be blown away.
C                             F
And I could be their everyone,
and I could be there everyday.
Dm                        C                      F
If I could be good enough, then I could just glow.
Dm                C                         F
If I could let go, then I could change the world,
                 Am
but I can't stop always tearing myself down.
A#              C                          F
I can be good enough. Yeah, I will break ground.

I focus on the dawn, man,
'cause something doesn't feel right
I feel it in my bones like God is throwing stones
Yeah, I'm gonna find the light
And the weight of what you're going through
Is bigger than your will to change
You have to start somewhere;
despair won't wear wherever again

Chorus

Proud, calm
Loud, strong
Heart, soul
I let go

If I could let go, then I could change the world
But I can't stop always tearing myself down
I can be good enough, yeah, I will break ground
But I can't stop always tearing myself down
I can be good enough, yeah, I will break ground
Yeah, I will break ground
I can be good enough, yeah, I will break ground
