[Verse 1]
                            C
In the basement of an empty house
                            C    D G D C
I slept on the floor like a vagrant
                            C
I braved a Minnesota winter night
                             C    D G D C
And drove to a movie feeling lonely
 
    C              Em               Am
And as I thawed my heart out by the light
       Em
Of the silver screen
  G                D
I was unaware that you were there
       Am      Em
In the dark, a silhouette
    G               D
Was climbing up the stairs
 
    C
And what I thought
       Em
In the parking lot
        G                        D
Was like, I just wanna know your name
  C
I drove away
         Em
With not much to say
       G                      D
But in my hand I held a paper bird
Am          C              D
And written on it were the words
   C D G D C    C D G D C
Be brave
 
 
[Verse 2]
                           C
Wildflower knew I wasn't well
                               C D G  D C
But on the kitchen floor I got better again
                                     C
I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star
                                    D     Em   D  G  C
And there, I was understood for the first time in my life
 
      C                 Em            Am
Cause that's when I was introduced to true
      Em
Serendipity
  G
I knew it when
           D
You showed up again
       Am          Em
In the snow, I was always told
     G                     D
Your heart is where you're home
 
    C
And what I thought
       Em
In the coffee shop
        G                            D
Was like, the last eight hours was a dream
  C
I drove away
         Em
With not much to say
       Am        Em           D
But in my hand I held a paper bird
Am          Em             D
And written on it were the words

[Verse 3]
    C
And in my mind
      Em
After all this time
        G                         D
I think, ain't life beautiful and strange
    C
I'm blown away
        Em
With no words to say
         Am      Em        D
Cause I, I'll forever be amazed
    Am            Em             D
How I learned the meaning of the phrase
   C D G D C (4x)
Be brave
