[Verse]
            G         Am7           Dm7   
It's been a while I'm not who I was before
         G                    Am7                  
You look surprised your words don't burn me anymore
Dm7                 G            Am7                      
■   Been meaning to tell you but I guess it's clear to see
         F                                   C 
Don't be mad it's just the brand new kind of me
         F                               C   
Can't be bad I found a brand new kind of free
Dm7              Gsus4         Am7                         
■   Careful with your ego he's the one that we should blame
Dm7             G            
■   Had to grab my heart back
Am7                       Dm7   
God know something had to change
                     G       
I thought that you'd be happy
        Em              Am           F  
I found the one thing I need why you mad
                                C 
It's just the brand new kind of me


[Chorus]
          Em        Am      F       
It took a long long time to get here
          Em          Am      G  
It took a brave brave girl to try
   F                 G       Abm          Am  
It took one too many excuses one too many lies
         F                           
Don't be surprised don't be surprised


[Verse]
Dm7         Gsus4        
If I talk a little louder
   Am7                         
If I speak up when you're wrong
Dm7                G     
If I walk a little taller
    Am7                     
I'd be known to you too long
Dm7    D7               G            
■   If you noticed that I'm different
           Em E7         Am
Don't take it personally ■ 
         F                                C    
Don't be mad it's just the brand new kind of me
             F                               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       Abm     E7   Am  
I've taken one too many excuses one too many lies
         F                                  
Don't be surprised oh see you look surprised


[Chorus]
Dm                   Am                     G       F    
■  Hey if you were a friend you want to get know me again
Dm    Dm7              Am7  
■  If you were worth a while
         G                    
You'd be happy to see me smile
F   Dm     Dm7            
I'm ■  not expecting sorry
        G            F     
I'm too busy finding myself
  Dm      
I got this
             Am7           G
I found me I found me yeah ■
Dm                   G      
■  I don't need your opinion
    Am7                  Fmaj7 Dm
I'm not waiting for your okay  ■ 
           G              Am7      F       Dm   
I'll never be perfect but at least now I'm brave
       G            
Now my heart is open
      Abm Am             
And I can finally breathe
         F                                   C   
Don't be mad it's just the brand new kind of free
