Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The gate  is wide
 The road is paved to  moderation
 The crowd  is kind and  quick to pull you in
 Welcome  to the  middle ground
 It's safe  and sound  and
 Until now  it's where  I've been
 Cuz it's been fear
 That ties me down to everything
 But it's been love,  Your love
 That cuts  the strings
 So long,  status  quo
 I  think I've  just let go
 You  make  me wanna be brave
 The way it  always was
 It's  no longer good enough
 You  make  me wanna be brave
 Brave,
 Brave
I  am small
 And I speak  when I'm spoken to
But  I am willing  to risk  it all
 To say  Your name
 Just Your name, and  I'm ready to go
Even  ready  to fall
 Why did I take  this foul compromise
 Why did I try  to keep it all inside
 I've  never known a fire that didn't begin  with a flame
 And  every storm will start with just a drop  of rain
 But if You believe  in me
 That changes everything
