                            [ E ]
My brave, my brave, my brave face
(a capella) | E | % | A/E | % | [Verse]
E
 I've been living in style

E             A/E  E
 Unaccustomed as I am to the luxury life

A                  G#m F#m  B      E
 I've been hitting the town and it didn't hit back
[Verse]
E
 I've been doing the rounds

E             A/E  E
 Unaccustomed as I am to the time on my hands

A                 G#m F#m    B             E
 Now I don't have to tell anybody when I'm gonna get back
[Bridge]
C#m            C#m(maj7)      C#m7          E7
Ever since you went away I've had this sentimental

     A             Am              E
Inclination not to change a single thing

C#m           C#m(maj7)          C#m7          C#m6       A
As I pull the sheets back on the bed I want to go bury my head

        Am
In your pillow
[Pre-Chorus]
E        B    E             E          B        E
Now that I'm alone again, I can't stop breaking down again,

    E        G#m           C#m
The simplest things set me off again

    C#m     G#m     F#m
And take me to that place
[Chorus]
A       E/G#       F#m      E
Where I can't find my brave face

A       E/G#       F#m      E
Where I can't find my brave face

A         E/G#      F#m      E
My brave, my brave, my brave face

My brave face
[Verse]
E
I`ve been living a lie

E             A/E  E
 Unaccustomed as I am to the work of a housewife,

A                   G#m F#m    B               E
 I`ve been breaking up   dirty dishes and been throwing them away
[Bridge]
C#m            C#m(maj7)        C#m7         E7
Ever since you left I have been trying to compose a 

       A                    Am                   E
"Baby, will you please come home" note meant for you

C#m         C#m(maj7)   C#m7         C#m6            A
As I clear away another untouched TV dinner from the table 

       Am
I laid for two
[Pre-Chorus]
E        B    E             E          B        E
Now that I'm alone again, I can't stop breaking down again,

    E        G#m           C#m
The simplest things set me off again

    C#m     G#m     F#m
And take me to that place
[Chorus]
A       E/G#       F#m      E
Where I can't find my brave face

A       E/G#       F#m      E
Where I can't find my brave face

A         E/G#      F#m      [ A ]
My brave, my brave, my brave face
