       Dm Am C Dm
Intro: 
       Dm Am F C
       
       

   Dm                    Am
1. Virginia Woolf and poetry
   No one seemed to notice me
   C                       Dm
   Being young was getting so old
   Dm                 Am
   Cheap beer and cigarettes
   Life was like a movie set
       F                    C
   And I seemed to be given no role
   

Pre: But in times of trouble
     I can turn to my mother
     And I know that she gon’ understand
     So at age 18
     I cried to my mother
     And she told me, “young man”
     

                                Dm          Am
Ch: “There are moments when you fall to the ground
                                  F            C
    But you are stronger than you feel you are now
                             Dm           Am
    You don’t always have to speak so loud, no
         F    C
    Just be asyou are
    
    Life is not always a comfortable ride
    Everybody’s got scars that they hide
    And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
    Just be as you are”
    

        Dm                    Am
2. They played me on the radio
   And everything was changing, so
   C                       Dm
   I thought I was all the way grown
       Dm                   Am
   But I can still remember in that cold November
          F               C
   When I realized I’m allalone
   

                                    Dm          Am
Chorus: "There are moments when you fall to the ground
                                     F           C
       But you are stronger than you feel you arenow
                                Dm           Am
       You don't always have to speak so loud, no
       F             C
       Just be as youare
                                Dm          Am
       It doesn't matter if you become some star
                               F        C
       Life is better when you open yourheart
                                Dm         Am
       You don't always have to act so hard, no
       F                             C
       Just be as you are, Just be asyou are"
       

Bridge: If I’m speaking truthfully
       I’m not who I used to be
       And I know some people might laugh
       ‘Cause my music doesn’t sound the same
       And my head’s no longer shaved
       I’m worried if I’m on the right path

       But you are stronger than you feel you arenow
                                Dm           Am
       You don't always have to speak so loud, no
       F               C
       Just be as you are
                                Dm          Am
