D

[Verse 1]
  D                                 G
The fighter in the corner, says a prayer before the bell
                 D                            A
And there's a soldier in the desert, findin’ out that war is hell
             D                            G
There's a veteran on the corner, with a story sad to tell
             D              G             A            D
And there's a man in your mirror, that knows you all too well


[Verse 2]
   D                                   G
You’re gonna get a million answers to what's a measure of a man
         D                                A
From the softness of his heart to the hardness of his hand
        D                                      G
It's always been the same old question ever since this world began
        D                  G          A           D
But a man can't learn a lesson that he don't understand


[Chorus]
      G                   D               A
The hardest thing you'll ever do is to tell someone you're sorry
     G                 D                  A
You'll never be the bravest man if you can’t admit you’re scared
      G                 D                 A                    D
What you do, and what you say, the strength it's gonna take to stay
    G                 D         A          G                   D
Comes from somewhere high up above, and that’s the courage of love


[Verse 3]
   D                                   G
And any fool can pull the trigger, anyone can start a fight
         D                                           A
But to love is so much bigger, and so beyond what's black or white
     D                                     G
And if we're gonna give our children the future that is bright
           D                  G         A           D
Then the truth must be the answer and love is the light


[Chorus]
       G                   D           A
The hardest thing you'll ever do is tell someone you’re sorry
     G                 D                  A
You'll never be the bravest man if you can't admit you're scared
      G                  D                A                     D
What you do, and what you say, the strength it's gonna take to stay
    G                  D        A       G                   D
Comes from somewhere high up above, that's the courage of love


[Bridge]
         A            G               D
And if you're gonna give yourself to somebody else
      A          G                   A
Then you gotta love someone more than yourself


[Chorus]
              G                  D             A
'Cause the hardest thing you'll ever do is tell someone you're sorry
     G                  D                 A
You'll never be the bravest man if you can't admit you're scared
       G                D                         A                    D
What you don't do, what you don't say, the strength it takes to walk away
    G                  D         A       G                  D
Comes from somewhere high up above, that's the courage of love


[Outro]
  G           D
The courage of love
   G                  D
That's the courage of love
