Still Cheering for You

Key: G

Tempo: ~78 BPM (warm, mid-tempo pop)

⸻

Verse 1

(G)

Hey you, hiding behind your walls

(D)

Built from nights you don’t talk about

(Em)

I see the cracks where the light gets in

(C)

Even when you’re shutting it out

(G)

You say trust feels like borrowed time

(D)

Like love always leaves a mark

(Em)

But I swear your heart still beats

(C)

Like it’s waiting for a softer start

⸻

Pre-Chorus

(Am)

You learned to sleep with one eye open

(Em)

Every kindness feels like a test

(C)

But you don’t have to earn peace, love

(D)

You don’t have to be less

⸻

Chorus

(G)

So if you can’t choose me now

(D)

That’s okay, I understand

(Em)

I won’t knock down doors you’re guarding

(C)

I won’t force your hand

(G)

I’ll love you from a distance

(D)

With no bitterness, no blame

(Em)

I’m still cheering for you

(C)

Even if you never say my name

⸻

Verse 2

(G)

You laugh like it’s borrowed air

(D)

Like joy might cost you later on

(Em)

You flinch at calm, you doubt the quiet

(C)

Like peace can’t last that long

(G)

I never wanted to fix your past

(D)

Or chase your ghosts away

(Em)

Just sit beside the weight you carry

(C)

And let it breathe someday

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

(Am)

You think love is always leaving

(Em)

Or turning sharp without a sound

(C)

But someday it’ll stay real quiet

(D)

And never let you down

⸻

Chorus

(G)

So if you can’t choose me now

(D)

That’s okay, I understand

(Em)

I won’t make your fears my weapon

(C)

I won’t demand

(G)

I hope someone meets you gently

(D)

With steady arms and truth

(Em)

I’m still cheering for you

(C)

While you’re learning how to choose

⸻

Bridge (soft → build)

(Em)

One day love won’t feel like danger

(C)

Won’t feel like something you outrun

(G)

You’ll wake up without armor

(D)

And realize—you won

(Em)

And if our paths don’t cross again

(C)

Know this was never in vain

(Am)

I loved you honest

(D)

I loved you kind

⸻

Final Chorus (lift)

(G)

So if you never circle back

(D)

If your healing leads elsewhere

(Em)

Just know someone saw your worth

(C)

And handled it with care

(G)

I’ll love you like the sunrise

(D)

Waiting on closed blinds to move

(Em)

I’m still cheering for you

(C)

Even when you don’t believe it’s true

⸻

Outro (quiet)

(G)

With hope…

(D)

With patience…

(Em)

With nothing left to prove

(C)

I’m still cheering for you
