Chords

[Intro] A A A A [Verse 1]
     A       A
When I was a child

   A          A
My nerves ran wild

       F#m
When I watched my friends

F#m                     A     A
Rise to the tops of the trees

         A       A
With the risk of fall

        A          A
I never climbed at all

      F#m   F#m
Every day I told myself

         A      A
“I’m not ready”
[Chorus]
F#m  E            A
  My daddy always said

F#m            E           A
“Nothing worth doing comes easy”

F#m     E          A
Time is not your friend

C                 A
 Time is not your remedy

F#m          E            A
No amount of waiting will make you

         F#m   E  A
Make you brave

F#m          E         A
No amount of fear will keep you

F#m          E                  A
No amount of fear will keep you safe
[Interlude] A A A A [Verse 2]
    A       A
The older I get

         A          A
The more fears I collect

         F#m
I gather them from

F#m              A    A
All the people I meet

      A         A
Their stories reveal

              A               A
Regrets their smiles can’t conceal

        F#m
I carry them

  F#m             A
I carry them with me
[Chorus]
F#m  E            A
  My daddy always said

F#m            E           A
“Nothing worth doing comes easy”

F#m     E          A
Time is not your friend

C                 A
 Time is not your remedy

F#m          E            A
No amount of waiting will make you

         F#m   E  A
Make you brave

F#m          E         A
No amount of fear will keep you

F#m          E                  A     A
No amount of fear will keep you safe
[Interlude] A A A A F#m E A F#m E A F#m E A F#m E A [Bridge]
            A           A            A
What if the steps I take turn out to be mistakes?

F#m E       A          F#m E      A
How can somebody like me learn to say?

A          A
“Come what may”

A          A
“Come what may”

F#m E          A   A
    “Come what may”

F#m E          A   A
    “Come what may”

F#m E          A   A
    “Come what may”

F#m E          A   A
    “Come what may”
[Chorus]
F#m  E            A
  My daddy always said

F#m            E           A
“Nothing worth doing comes easy”

 Time is not your remedy

No amount of waiting will make you

         F#m   E  A
Make you brave

F#m          E         A
No amount of fear will keep you

F#m          E                  A
No amount of fear will keep you safe

F#m          E                  A
No amount of fear will keep you safe

     F#m  E               A
Your fears won’t keep you safe
[Outro] A A A A
