This Is Me - The Greatest Showman

How to play 'This Is Me' by Keala Settle from The Greatest Showman soundtrack on the piano.

Verse 1: 

I am not a stranger to the dark
E  F# F# F# F# E   E  F# F#

"Hide away", they say
F#     A G     F#   F#

"'Cause we don't want your broken parts"
D          D   F#   F#     E       E D     C#

I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
F#     F#    F#  F# F#  F# D  A  B   F#

"Run away", they say
F#   A G      F#   F#

"No one'll love you as you are"

 F#    F#   E    E   D   E 


Pre-Chorus:

But I won't let them break me down to dust
D   B   F#  F#  E       E      F#   E    F#   B 

I know that there's a place for us
F# F#   E      E     F#  E    F#  A 

For we are glorious
D    E   F#  G F# E

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
      F# A    B    B   A    F# F#   F#    A   F#  E D 


I am brave, I am bruised
D   A    F#  D  A    F#


I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
D  A  F#  F#   F#    E   E    D   D  D

Another round of bullets hits my skin
D E F#    F#   F# F# F# D   E   F# F#


Well, fire away 'cause today
D     F# A A G     A    G G F#

I won't let the shame sink in
F#  F#  E    E    E       D   C#

We are bursting through the barricades
F#  A     B A       A        F#  F# E E D 


And reaching for the sun
D     E C#     B    A   F#


(We are warriors)
D      D  G F# F#

Yeah, that's what we've become
B          B      A      A      F# A

But I won't let them break me down to dust
