_ _ _ _ _ It's _ _ been 10 years on this pavement, and I finally caught a dream.
If I'm honest, it's a terrifying thing. _ _ _ _
_ Cause I feel crazy taking pictures, hearing a thousand people scream.
This is a lot for an Oklahoma _ kid like me. _ _ _ _
_ It takes me down outside [Eb] of Georgia, and I [Bb] was sure that I was done.
_ [Eb] Something in [Bb] me would not turn around and run.
_ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ I was born in _ [Eb]
California, and I [Gm] remembered who [Bb] I was.
And I learned to dance with the fear that I'd been running from. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I've been scared to death of failing, _ scared that I'd look like a fool.
_ _ [Eb] Not rather quit than a risk that [Bb] I could lose. _ _ _
_ And I'm not proud of that position, _ but it's the hand that I've been dealt.
_ As far as I'm concerned, that hand can go to hell. _ _ _ _
_ It takes me down outside [Eb] of Georgia, and I [Gm] was sure that I [Bb] was done.
_ [Eb] Something in me would not turn [Bb] _ around and run.
_ [Eb] I was _ _ _ [Bb] born in _ [Eb]
California, and I [Gm] remembered [Bb] who I was.
And I [Eb] learned to dance with the fear [Cm] that I'd been [Bb] running from.
_ _ Oh, _ yeah. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ No, I won't run away.
_ _ _ [Eb]
No, _ _ [Gm] _ I [Bb] am not afraid. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I was down [Eb] outside of Georgia, _ so [Gm] sure that I [Bb] was done.
But something [Eb] in me would [Cm] not turn [Eb] around [Bb] and run. _ _ _
_ _ Heard the Lord in _ [Eb] California, and [Gm] I remembered who [Bb] I was.
And I learned to dance with the fear that I'd been running from.
[Eb] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] Yeah, _ _ _ [Gm] _ the fear [Bb] that I'd been running from. _ _ _
