B
Don't dress it up but
don't beat around the bush
And don't cover it up but
don't push it underground
And don't keep it inside and
don't edit and redact
And no dumbing it down
And don’t fake it, just

And I can handle the truth
I can cope with whatever you're holding back
No need to sugar coat
Just

Chorus:
Em            Am
I know how to mend
       D   B7/D#          Em
I can rise high above the ashes
         Am
I'll reinvent
        C F#
I will remerge
   B
Reborn

Don't dress it up but
don't beat around the bush
And don't cover it up but
don't push it underground
And don't keep it inside and
don't edit and redact
And no dumbing it down
And don’t fake it, just

Chorus
