C               Em* Fmaj7
Too much to say,    Too much to lose

         Am
I get frustrated thinking 'bout the world

  Gadd11
I brought you to

       C              Em*   Fmaj7
It's a battle of time, that I have with you

            Am
But don't decide the how, the when

            Gadd11          G
Or if we'll make it through

[Pre-Chorus]

C
 I feel like you deserve a chance

            Em*             Fmaj7
To know the truth and to be better than

Fadd9 Am
       The ones who came before you

                            Gadd11
Only to let pride and money weaken them

[Chorus]

            C        Em*        Fmaj7
So be the young, the brave, the powerful

           Am
'Cause the world is standing waiting

        Em/G
For someone to come and change it

               C        Em*        Fmaj7
Yeah, be the young, the brave, the powerful

          Am
'Cause we need a soul to save us

         Em/G
Need someone to be the greatest

[Instrumental] C Em* Fmaj7 [Verse 2]

C              Em* Fmaj7
So many words,     veiling the truth

    Am
The others turning and

              Gadd11
It's time for us to choose

    C               Em* Fmaj7
And people will try, to take you down too

       Am
But if I was a betting man,

               Gadd11       G
I'd put all my money on you

[Pre-Chorus]

C
 I know that I have nothing left

           Em*             Fmaj7
To give to you to make you better than

Fadd9 Am
       The man I failed to be, the friends

                         Gadd11           G
And father that I know I should have been

[Chorus]

            C        Em*        Fmaj7
So be the young, the brave, the powerful

           Am
'Cause the world is standing waiting

        Em/G
For someone to come and change it

               C        Em*        Fmaj7
Yeah, be the young, the brave, the powerful

          Am
'Cause we need a soul to save us

        Em/G
Need someone to be the greatest

[Bridge]

F
Nobody knows what to say (Oh no)

Am
Nobody shows you the way (Oh no)

    Gadd11
Sometimes it's hard to see

G
Who you're gonna be

[Chorus]

            C        Em*        Fmaj7
So be the young, the brave, the powerful

           Am
'Cause the world is standing waiting

        Em/G
For someone to come and change it

         C        Em*        Fmaj7
Be the young, the brave, the powerful

          Am
'Cause we need a soul to save us

        Em/G
Need someone to be the greatest

[Outro]

         C        Em*        Fmaj7
Be the young, the brave, the powerful

           Am
'Cause the world is standing waiting

For someone to come and change it
