[Verse 1]
 F                  Dm          B
This will probably stay locked away
    F                   C
And only come out on a rainy day
 F                    Dm
Cause I will probably go
           B
and never show
  F
Every little thing
  C            G   C
I want you to know

[Chorus]
      F
If I speak my mind
          C
Will you take the time
         Dm            B
Will you try to find a way
      F
If I take you there
         C
Will you say you care
          Dm             B
Will you understand and stay
        C              Dm
There's gotta be more courage
       B
I can find
C             F
To speak my mind

[Verse 2]
F             Dm         B
I will stand alone even though
     F               C
I'm dying inside to trust you so
 F           Dm                B
But I am so afraid that once betrayed
F                      C         G
There'll be once again hurt and play
      C
And I pray
