[Intro]
|D   |D6 |D6b |D   |D6 |D6b
 
 
[Verse 1]
    D
Am I swimming
               D
To keep from drowning?
    D
Am I running
                  D
Running to or running from?
      D
Have I used you?
                     D
If I'm honest, maybe sometimes
             D
And though my past is far behind me
                         D
It's still not as far as I want
 
 
[Chorus]
           G                       G6
But I will   open my arms and I'll    fall at your feet
         Gmaj         G                  D
And I'll      let you in to where you can so damage me
      G                             G6
I will stand in the light, least as    best I can
        Gmaj            G          Em            D
And I'll     live like I'm better, better than I am
          D
Better than I am
 
 
[Verse 2]
            D
It's more a truce
         D
Less a surrender
            D
It's more a giving
                  D
Giving more than I wanna give, yes, it is
 
 
[Chorus]
           G                      G6
But I will   open my arms and I'll   fall at your feet
        Gmaj         G                  D
And I'll     let you in to where you can so damage me
      G                             G6
I will stand in the light, least as    best I can
        Gmaj            G          Em            D
And I'll     live like I'm better, better than I am
 
 
[Bridge]
Em
The road I took to get here
                     Bm
Is one I never wanna take again
   Em
Oh,  I'm gonna keep believing
                            F#sus
And pushing up to the light
                        F#7
The light that pulls me in
 
 
[Chorus]
       G                       G6
I will   open my arms and I'll    fall at your feet
         Gmaj         G                  D
And I'll      let you in to where you can so damage me
      G                             G6
I will stand in the light, least as    best I can
         Gmaj            G          Em            D
And I'll      live like I'm better, better than I am
