Lorde - Bravado: chords

        Bm
All my life,
            G         A
I've been fighting a war
         Bm      G            A
I can't talk to you or your friends
         Bm
It's not only you,
    G            A                Bm
My heart jumps around when I'm alluded to
               G A
This will not do

'Cause I was raised up
To be admired, to be noticed
But when you're withdrawn, it's the closest thing
To assault when all eyes are on you
This will not do

I'm faking glory
Lick my lips, toss my hair
And turn the smile on
And the story's brand new
But I can take it from here
I'll find my own bravado

Chorus:
D
It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back
                Em
It's a moon eclipsed, oh
Bm
And I can tell you that when
                                       A
the lights come on I'll be ready for this
D
It's in your bloodstream
                                    Em         Bm
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
Bm
It's a marathon run or
                                           A
a mountain you scaled without thinking of size
D
I was frightened of every little thing
                   Em      Bm
that I thought was out to get me down
                             A
To trip me up, and laugh at me,
    D
But I learned not to want the quiet of the room
              Em       Bm
with no one around to find me out

I want the applause, the approval,
the things that make me go, oh
