[Verse 1]
      Am                 Em          Dm              Am
So now, tell me how your story goes... have you ever suffered?

   F               Dm                 E             E7              Am
If so, did you get better or have you never quite recovered from it?

                  Em                   Dm            Am             F
Did you find your lover laying in your bedroom with another and then

               Dm                 E                    E7              Am
Did you let it hover over you and everything else well after the fact?
[Verse 2]
                 Em           Dm             Am
Show me all your bruises... I know everybody wears them

     F              Dm          E               E7
They broadcast the pain-how you hurt, how you reacted-

    Am               Em              Dm            Am           F
Did cancer take your child? Did your father have a heart attack?

               Dm                   E              E7          Am
Have you had a moment forced the whole heart to grow or retract?

        Em               Dm           Em   F#
Or just shrink? Does the heart shrink?
[Pre-Chorus]
                   F                       E
Tell me everything, tell me everything you know
Were you told as a child how cruel the whole world can be?
                                F#
Did anybody ever tell you that?
Tell me what your purpose is, who it was that put you here and why?
                                         E
Did anybody really put your here at all?
And what of those necessities, Like how to cope with tragedy and pain?
                               F
Did anybody ever show you how?
When it hits will my heart burst or break or grow strong? Is there really only one way to know now? [Chorus 1]
Am           Am Bm  C            Dm       F     E   Am
I'm not sure if I'm ready yet to find out the hard way

                Bm        C       Am
How strong I am, what I'm made of

            Am Bm C            Dm            F   E Am
I'm not sure I am ready yet to walk through the fire

    Bm             C         Bm
I'm not sure I can handle it

             Bm Bm   C             Dm       F E
Do you think if the heart keeps on shrinking,

Bm                    C            Bm
One day there will be no heart at all?

        Am
And how long does it take?

Am Bm C               Dm       F     E    Am
Am I  better off just bursting or breaking?

        C            G                  F
Cause I don't see my heart getting strong
[Bridge] Tell your stories to me, show your bruises
      E
Let's see what humanity is capable of handling

Am
She lost her kid, only seven, to cancer

G   Am                                         E
She answered with faith in her god and carried on,

      F
While he was attacked by his son and was stabbed in his

E
Stomach and his back and his arms, he showed me scars

Am                                                   G  Am
82 years old, told me, "I still have my daughter and my wife

                                    G   Am
And I still have my life and my son"
[Verse 4]
                                                                   F
Tell me what your worst fears are, I bet they look a lot like mine

                                      G                          Am
Tell me what you think about when you can't fall asleep at night

                                                                                                   F
Tell me that you're struggling, tell me that you're scared, no, tell me that you're terrified of life

                               G                            Am
Tell me that it's difficult to not think of death sometimes
Tell me how you lost, tell me how he left, tell me how she left
                F                           G                                       Am
Tell me how you lost everything that you had, tell me that it ain't ever coming back

                                                                       F
Tell me about God, tell me about love, tell me that it's all of the above

                                  G                                       F
Say you think of everything in fear, I bet you're not the only one who does

Everyone in the world comes at some point to suffering
