Verse 1
EEsus4E5Esus4EEsus4
I hate sticking out from the crowd
EEsus4E5Esus4Badd4
I'd rather hide behind my thick glasses
EEsus4E5Esus4EEsus4
I'm much too shy to fight or speak out loud
EEsus4E5Esus4
I'd rather scratch a chalkboard
Badd4
Than talk about myself
A2Badd4E/G#A2E/G#4
Oh, but you are all that I treasure
A2Badd4D
It's time to share the wealth
Chorus
Badd4C#m
So if you ask
A2E/G#
I'll show my face
Badd4C#m
Yeah if you ask me
A2E
I'll go anywhere you say
BC#mA2F#
I'll shout your name to the mountain tops
A2B
Alleluia!
EEsEsus4
Praise the Lord!
Verse 2
EEsus4E5Esus4EEsus4EEsus4
I can't believe the things they're saying about you
EEsus4E5Esus4Badd4
Makes me want to curl up and cry
EEsus4
I wish they knew
E5Esus4EEsuEsus4
How much you suffered
EEsus4E5Esus4Badd4
To save them from the everlasting fire
A2Badd4E/G#A2E/G#4
Oh, but tough times call for tough measures
A2Badd4D
This time it's down to the wire
Bridge
BC#mAE/G#
But your voice is so hard to hear sometimes
BC#mAE/G#
When the going gets rough I want to run away
BC#mAE/G#E
No one lights a fire to hide it from view
F#
So let it shine
Let it shine
Am7
Let it shine!
