[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Yesterday, I [G]walked outside
[D]Out into a sea of dust, ari[G]d and dry
And [C]so [D]hot and so unbelievably [G]radiant
And unforgiving
[C]And I wat[D]ched myself go und[G]er
And I [D]felt energy [G]rising
And then I saw [D]this woman
coming towards [G]me
All [D]heat and haze
But [G]with a smile like a river
that swept me [D]up
And I took my hand and I [G]put it in hers
And [D]I said, "Will you [G]be
my spirit guide?"
And she [D]said,
"You don't [G]need a spirit [D]guide
All you [G]gotta do is ride
You [D]just close your eyes
and then [G]open them wide"
She [C]said
[Bb]Do something t[C]hat sc[Cm]ares y[C]ou[Bb][C]
[Bb]Do something t[C]hat scares y[Bb]ou
And I [D]washed my hands in the
[G]clear green water
Rushing from the [D]mountain like
some kind of abso[G]lution
Like a resurrection
I [D]put my whole body into the water
[G]Like I was transforming, a c[D]hrysalis
I could [G]taste the dirt
The red [D]earth on my tongue
And I [G]felt like I was just a girl,
[D]Seventeen, looking for something,
[G]edgy and green
And [D]bursting and beautiful
and undecipher[G]able
With the reins held tight
And [D]I felt like I was just
holding onto a [G]thread
Taking off, ready for [D]joy,
on a bird's wing, fra[G]gile
And I heard that [C]voice
[Bb]Do s[C]omething that scares you[Bb][C]
[Bb]Do something t[C]hat scares you
[Bb]Do somet[C]hing that makes you feel[Bb]
Do [C]something that makes you [Bb]feel
And I [D]stood on the edge of that cliff
And I real[G]ized I was all alone
With no [D]way up or down
And I [G]was scared
And I started to climb
[D]Up, up, up
And I [G]could suddenly feel
[Bm]And I could feel rain [D]on my skin,
[G]sweet and cold
And I could feel [D]all the pain
from [G]all the years
All [D]the sweat and all the untold
pas[G]sions and the tears
Like [D]rain flowering in me so [G]strong
Like jasmine, and releas[D]ing me
And I fell onto the sand
[G]and I put up my hands
And [D]I put up my body arms
And I [G]cried with the rain
And I [D]felt myself becom[G]ing myself
Like I was [D]freed from the beliefs that
I'd been [G]handed as a child
Like [Bm]I could see[D] the world from above
Like [G]I could live pure
And I took [D]off that red ribbon
[G]from around my head
And I [D]buried it under the yellow earth,
[G]scratching at the sand
Burying it [D]deeper and deeper
[G]Into the heat, into the core
I said
[C]I did[Bb] something that[C] scares me[Bb]
[C]I d[Bb]id something th[C]at scares me
[Bb]I did some[C]thing that makes me feel[Bb]
I did [C]something that makes me [Bb]feel
I did [C]something that makes me [Bb]feel[D]
