[Verse 1]
Fm                              Ab
Well, time is running out of my hands
                                Eb
And I don't wanna leave it to chance
                                 Db
The good, the bad and all of the rest
                                     Fm
Please, tell me how could I keep you safe
                          Ab
Lately I think that I realised
                              Eb
I don't want you to ever feel like (you)
                               Db
You don't deserve anything you have
                                     Fm
You're not enough, and you don't fit right
 
[Pre-Chorus]
               Ab
Well if I the world
                         Eb
Keeps on sayin' you're small
             Db
You gotta believe in
                     Fm
The fire that lives within
              Ab
Like all the girls
                    Eb
You'll stumble and fall
                Db
But fire lives within
 
[Chorus]
                     Fm
If I had to tell you my deepest secret
                  Ab
I guess I'd say I couldn't love me right
             Eb
Days go by and I'm trying so hard to fight (it)
                    Db
I hope someday I'll find a way out through the night
                     Fm
If I had to tell you my deepest secret
                  Ab
I guess I'd say I never loved me right
                   Eb
I'll do my best so you don't ever have to face these
               Db
Endless nights try to find the light within
 
[Verse 2]
     Fm                                  Ab
Been there, too many times I couldn't deny
                                  Eb
The feelings and the tears that I cried
                            Db
As if I wanted to prove em right
                                 Fm
By swallowing the worst of their lies
                                Ab
I never want you to feel like this
                                         Eb
Regretting things, you don't know you've missed
                           Db
Obsessing on being someone else
                                  Fm
To please the world by losing yourself
 
[Pre-Chorus]
               Ab
Well if I the world
                         Eb
Keeps on sayin' you're small
             Db
You gotta believe in
                     Fm
The fire that lives within
              Ab
Like all the girls
                    Eb
You'll stumble and fall
                Db
But fire lives within
 
[Chorus]
                     Fm
If I had to tell you my deepest secret
                  Ab
I guess I'd say I couldn't love me right
             Eb
Days go by and I'm trying so hard to fight (it)
                    Db
I hope someday I'll find a way out through the night
                     Fm
If I had to tell you my deepest secret
                  Ab
I guess I'd say I never loved me right
                   Eb
I'll do my best so you don't ever have to face these
               Db
Endless nights try to find the light within
 
[Outro]
                     Fm               Ab   Eb   Db
If I had to tell you my deepest secret
                  Fm
I guess I'd say I couldn't love me right
