Missy Higgins – The Difference (Guitar)

           Gm
Am I gonna die, am I gonna live,

           Bb
am I gonna sit on the edge of fear.

           F
Am i gonna fall, am I gonna fight,

              Gm
or am I gonna watch from the outside.

            Gm
Sometimes I wake from the deepest sleep,

         Bb
oh and I feel tomorrow in me,

                   F
like I don't wanna let the hand of yesterday

Dm
hold me back.

                 Gm
But everything I see, everything I watch,

               Bb
makes me wanna hold my ear till it stops,

               F
makes me wanna run, makes me wanna hide,

               Gm
makes me wanna set this house alight.

         Gm
Oh but I remember my mother's voice,

                Bb
telling me that every day's a choice,

                  F
for where there's good, there's

Dm
bad.

       Gm               F
But my child you always can,

        Bb                 Dm                 Gm
be the difference, be the difference, be the difference.

             F                    Bb
I know the world's gone made it's true,

                    Dm
she said, be the difference,

                    Gm
she cried, be the difference,

               F                Bb
cause I see a fighter logged in you.

          Dm                 Gm
Be the difference, be the difference,

               F                        Bb
when hope is a hand you don't wanna trust,

                   Dm
she said, be the difference,

                    Gm
she cried, be the difference,

                   F                   Bm
cause darling the future's watching us.

              Gm
So am I gonna open everything up,

               Bb
am i gonna let fury fill my cup,

                 F
am I gonna be an anthem singing in the dark,

            Gm
gonna light up like a burning heart.

           Gm
Am I gonna stand still as a rock,

                 F
while everything shakes and time rolls on,

             F          Dm
am I gonna remember the truth.

                 Gm
Cause I wanna be nasty, wanna be brave,

            Bb
not let his fear make me afraid,

                 F
I don't wanna pretend I'm too

Gm
small to jump the wall.

                 Gm
I'm just tryna remember her voice,

                Bb
telling me that every day's a choice,

                  Bm
for where there's good, there's

Dm
bad.

       Gm               F
And my child you always can,

        Bb                 Dm                 Gm
Be the difference, be the difference, be the difference

             F                    Bb

              Bb/A                Bb/G
So you gotta fight it, you gotta resist,

               Bb/A                  Bb
eveyrthing's a choice to lie the die.

            Bb/A                Bb/G
You gotta sing loud, you gotta shout out.

              Bb/A
Fear is not a choice but you can choose to

       Bb        Dm          Gm
be the difference, be the difference.

           F                     Bb
I know the world's gone mad it's true,
