Alicia Keys - Brand New Me: chords

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

Careful with your ego, he’s the one that
we should blame
Had to grab my heart back,
God knew something had to change
I thought that you’d be happy
I found the one thing I need

Why you mad? It’s just the brand new kind of me

Chorus:
               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/G#         Am
It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
 G            F                   Fm
Don't be surprised, don't be surprised

If I talk a little louder,
if I speak up when you're wrong
If I walk a little taller,
I been under you too long
If you notice that I'm different,
don't take it personally
Don't be mad, it's just a brand new kind of me
And it ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of free

Chorus:
It took a long, long road to get here
It took a brave, brave girl to try
I've taken one too many excuses, one too many lies
Don't be surprised, see you look surprised

Dm                   Am                      G
Hey, if you were a friend, you want to get know me
  F
again
Dm                   Am                   G
If you were worth a while, yu'd be happy to see me
  F
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 okay
I’ll never be perfect, but at least now I’m brave
Now my heart is open, and I can finally breathe

Don’t be mad, it’s just a brand new kind of free
That ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of me
Don't be mad, it's just a brand new time for me
