Son(Chords)

	        Bb                         F 
Show me who I am and who I could be. 
                       Gm 
Initiate the heart within me 
         Cm          Bb - F 
Until it opens properly. 

Bb                                 F 
Slow down, start again from the beginning. 
                          Gm 
I can?t keep my head from spinning out of control, 
   Cm                         Bb    F 
Is this what being vulnerable feels like? 

           Gm 
And I will try, try, try to breathe 
                 Bb         F 
?Til it turns to muscle memory. 
         Gm 
I'm only steady on my knees; 
                      Bb           F 
one day I'll stand up on my own two feet. 
     Gm 
I?ll run the risk  
         F             Bb 
Of being intimate with brokenness. 
             F          Bb 
Through this magnifying glass, 
                        F 
I see a thousand fingerprints 
       Gm                Bb 
On the surfaces of who I am. 
- F - Gm - Cm - Bb - F 

Bb                               F 
Show me where to find the silver lining 
                     Gm 
As the mercury keeps rising, 
         Cm               Bb      - F  
?Til the glass or my fever breaks. 

Bb                           F 
Show me how to struggle gracefully. 
                      Gm 
Let the scaffolding inside of me be strong enough 
   Cm                     Bb    F 
To hold this tired body up once more. 

           Gm 
And I will try, try, try to breathe 
                 Bb         F 
?Til it turns to muscle memory. 
           Gm 
I feel the pressure in my blood 
                Bb         F 
Building up and liberating me. 
          Gm  
So I will try, try, try to breathe 
                 Bb         F 
?Til it turns to muscle memory. 
         Gm  
I'm only steady on my knees, 
                        Bb           F 
But one day, I'll stand on my own two feet. 


     Gm  
I'll run the risk  
         F             Bb 
Of being intimate with brokenness. 
             F          Bb  
Through this magnifying glass, 
                       F 
I see a thousand fingerprints 
     Gm 
That ran the risk 
         F                Bb 
Of being intimate with my brokenness. 
     F        Bb 
I was given a gift of hope  
                    F 
In a thousand fingerprints 
      Cm                Bb 
On the surface of who I am. 

Bb - F - Gm - Cm - Bb - F 

end on Bb
