A                               E
All my life been running from a pain in me
                  D                      E
A feeling I don't understand holding me down
     A                     E
So, rain on me underwater, all I am, getting harder
   D              E
A heavy weight I carry around.

   D
Today
F#m              E     D
I don't have to fall apart
F#m              E      D
I don't have to be afraid
F#m              E       D
I don't have to let the damage consume me,
my shadow see through me

Chorus:
 D         E                F#m               E
Fear in itself will reel you in and spit you out
                D
Over and over again
                E                 A
Believe in yourself and you will walk
 D         E                F#m               E
Fear in itself will use you up and break you down
                       D
like you were never enough
                E                   A
Yeah I used to fall, now I get back up.

I'm up here
I'm looking at the way down there
I'm staring through the I don't care
It's staring back at me
The beauty is
I'm learning how to face my beast
Starting now to find some peace
Set myself free

Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
I don't have to let the damage consume me
My shadows see through me, 'cause

                    E
You see, I'm moving on
                 F#m E
Oh god just move on

Today
I don't have to fall apart
I don't have to be afraid
Get back up
Get up

Chorus:
Fear, fear in itself will use you up
And break you down just like you're never enough
Yeah, I used to fall

Breathe
Ask for more
If you're bitter still
Ask him to help you carry on
