Sara Bareilles - Brave

Originally in Bb, I play in C capo 1

Lowest note is the 1 (on “lack of *love*”)

Highest note is the 4 (on “I wanna see you”)

That’s a whopping Eb in the original key, plus

there’s a long braaaave on the 3

Vox on 3 5 on “you can”

CYou can be amazing

CYou can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug

AmYou can be the outcast

AmOr be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love

FOr Gyou can start speaking upC

CNothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do

CAnd they settle ‘neath your skin

AmKept on the inside and no sunlight

AmSometimes a shadow wins

FBut I Gwonder what would happen if you

Note switch from 1645 to 1465

CI just wanna see you

FI just wanna see you

AmI just wanna see you

GI wanna see you be brave

CI just wanna see you

FI just wanna see you

AmI just wanna see you

Hard stop on last “brave”

GI wanna see you be brave

CEverybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down

CBy the eneAmmy

AmFallen for the fear and done some disapAmpearing

AmBow down to the mighty

FDon’t run, Gstop holding your tongue

Vox up to 1 on “maybe”, down to 3 on “live”

Vox same note on “way” and “out”

CMaybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live

Same melody, but last note is 4 instead 3

AmMaybe one of these days you can let the light in

Hard stop around “your brave”

FShow me Ghow big your brave is

Bridge

Vox down to the 1 of the minor chord (6 of the key)

AmAnd since your Chistory of silence

C/EWon’t do you Fany good

C/EDid you thFink it would?

AmLet your words be Canything but empty

GWhy don’t you tell them the truth?

No instruments this chorus

CI just wanna see you

FI just wanna see you

AmI just wanna see you

GI wanna see you be brave

CI just wanna see you

FI just wanna see you

AmI just wanna see you

Hard stop on 1

GI wanna see you be brave
