Misc Originals – Blake Mccann - From Silence To Stage (Guitar)

G                        D/F
Woke up with a heavy heart,

Em                            Em
Backpack feeling twice as hard.

C                                   C
School doors wide, I’d freeze and hide,

G                             D/F
Afraid to speak, afraid to try.

G                                 D/F
Reading out loud, my voice would shake,

Em                       Em
Every word felt like a break.

C                            C
Eyes all on me, I’d want to run,

D
Counting minutes ‘til it’s done.

G                               D/F
But somewhere deep inside a spark,

Em                             Em
A sound was waiting in the dark.

C
A melody to set me free,

G                             D/F*
In music’s arms, I found me.

G                               D/F
Slowly stepping past the fear,

Em                                Em
Strings and chords began to clear.

C                                     C
From shaky hands to steady strums,

G                                 D/F
Each note a step, the silence numbs.

G                                     D/F
Writing songs from wounds I’ve known,

Em                     Em
In every line, I’ve grown.

C
A quiet kid with loudest dreams,

D
Now I’m more than it seems.

G                                 D/F
But somewhere deep inside a spark,

Em                           Em
A sound was waiting in the dark.

C
A melody to set me free,

G                             D/F*
In music’s arms, I found me.

C
Now I stand where lights all gleam,

G
Playing for a crowd that sings my dreams.

C
Hundreds strong, we dance and shout,

C                                    D Dsus2 Dsus4
From silence grown, I’m breaking out.

G                                       D/F
From trembling words I dared not say,

Em
To songs that take the fear away.

C
I’m not alone, and now I see,

G*                                       D/F*
Music’s the voice that set me free.
