[Intro 1] [C][G][Am][E][F][G][C][Am] [Verse 1] I met [F]a proph et dark as [G]the night She could see into my [Am]soul Said she'd been watch[F]ing and had some ad[G]vice She said shadows make you [Am]whole A life without [F]pain is a wolf in sheep's [G]clothes Cause if you [C]listen [G]to the [Am]lessons [Abdim]that it hold[D]s You'll find [F]the gold [Verse 2] [C]Child its [G]time [Am]to break th[Em]e shell [F]Life's gonna [E]hurt but its [F]meant to be felt [G]You cannot[C] touch the[G] sky from [Am]inside your[Em]self [F]You cannot [E]fly [F]until you [G]break the [C]shell [Verse 3] [Am] I can re[F]member when I was [G]a child How the grown folks seemed so [Am]crazy Why are they so [F]angry, why are they so [G]loud? And when I grow up that's never ever gonna [Am]be me That was the mo[F]ment that I de[G]cide That I would [C]build a [G]wall just [Am]shy of s[E]ix feet [D]tall Too strong [F]to fall [Verse 4] [C]Child its [G]time [Am]to break th[Em]e shell [F]Life's gonna [E]hurt but its [F]meant to be felt [G]You cannot[C] touch the[G] sky from [Am]inside your[Em]self [F]You cannot [E]fly [F]until you [G]break the [C]shell [F] [Verse 5] [F]Courage is not being [C]hard It's time to [E]peel back all of the layers You [Am]put between who you're [D]meant to be And you who [F]are And go be who you [Fm]are [Verse 6] [Am] So much [F]disappointment to finally under[G]stand That there is [Em]no such thing as p[Am]erfect Were all simply [F]doing the best that we [G]can And we have a [C]choice to [Em]live or [Am]truly [E]be [D]alive [Verse 7] [F]This is your [C]life Child its [G]time [Am]to break th[Em]e shell [F]Life's gonna [E]hurt but its [F]meant to be felt [G]You cannot[C] touch the[G] sky from [Am]inside your[Em]self [F]You cannot [E]fly [F]until it [G]breaks the [C]shell Child its [G]time [Verse 8] [Am]to break t[Em]he shell [F]Life's gonna [E]hurt but its [F]meant to be felt [G]You cannot[C] touch the[G] sky from [Am]inside your[Em]self The [F]bird cannot [E]fly [F]until it [G]breaks the [C]shell [Verse 9] [C]Do with [G]these words [Am]what you [E]will Its [F]time for [C]us to [D]be for real [Am]You'll [C]be stuck on [D]the ground until [F]You finally [G]break the shell
