Dm      G      Am
It's been a while, I'm not who I was before
Dm      G            Am
You look surprised, your words don't burn me anymore
Dm        G       Am
Been meaning to tell you, but I guess it's clear to see
     F         Fm        C
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
     F        Fm        C
Can't be bad, I found a brand new kind of free

Dm        G       Am
Careful with your ego, he's the one that we should blame
Dm        G         Am
Had to grab my heart back God know something had to change
Dm           G         E      Am
I thought that you'd be happy I found the one thing I need
     F         Fm        C
Why you mad it's just the brand new kind of me

        Em    Am     F
Oh, it took a long long time to get here
      Em      Am   G
It took a brave, brave girl to try
     F       G    E      Am
It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
G      F           Fm
Don't be surprised, don't be surprised

Dm         G      Am
If I walk a little louder if I speak up when you're wrong
Dm         G        Am
If I walk a little taller I've been on to you too long
Dm            G           E    Am
If you noticed that I'm different don't take it personally
     F         Fm        C
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
       F        Fm        C
And it ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of free

        Em    Am     F
Oh, it took a long long road to get here
      Em      Am   G
It took a brave, brave girl to try
     F       G    E      Am
It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
G      F             G
Don't be surprised, oh see you look surprised

Dm          Am           G    F
Hey, if you were a friend, you want to get know me again
Dm          Am         G      F
If you were worth a while, yu'd be happy to see me smile
Dm         Am          G    F
I'm not expecting sorry I'm too busy finding myself
 Dm      Am     G
I got this I found me, I found me, yeah

I don't need your opinion I'm not waiting for your ok

I'll never be perfect, but at least now I'm brave
Dm        G       E     Am
Now, my heart is open and I can finally breathe
     F         Fm        C
Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of free
