D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
At the start of the conversation
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
I didn't have too much to say
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
I was needing some inspiration
A
And you just got in my way
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
Took a shot at an easy target
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
You were too stunned to say anything
F#m G
You were the unsuspecting martyr
Em D G
You were not the most dangerous game
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] Bm A
Bring my courage back now
G
Bring it back to me
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] Bm A
Tired of being afraid of what I can't change
G D
And I want to be living free
Instrumental
(D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G )x2
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
Well, it could be that I was mistaken
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
Maybe I deceived myself
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
But it's hard to understand somebody
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
Who doesn't want to understand himself
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/glen_phillips/courage_crd.html ]
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
There's an ocean of unlatched windows.
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
And a world of unlocked homes

The only reason anybody can still feel safe

Is most people still knock on the door

Bound in these chains

I want to be free again
Em Bm
Though we all return to dust
G
There's a lot of us
A
In a terrible rush
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
Well, some take the road to Damascus
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
Some take the road to hell
F#m G
I'll take highway one to the evergreens
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] G
And everything will turn out well
D [ch]C#/D[/ch] Bm A
Bring my courage back now

Slave to my fear
