[C]So after all those o[G]one night stands.
You've ended [Bb]up with heart in h[F]hand.
[C]A child alone. [G]On your own. Retrea[F]Retreating.
Regr[C]Regretful for the th[G]things your not.
And [Bb]all the things you haven't g[F]got.
With[C]out a home. A h[G]eart of stone lies ble[F]eding.
(Bridge)
And for a[G]all the roads you followed. And for a[F]all you did not find.
And for a[G]all the dreams you had to leave be[F]behind.
(Chorus)
[C] I am the w[G]ay. I am the l[Am]ight. I am the d[F]ark in[G]side the n[C]ight.
I hear your ho[G]pes. I feel your dr[Am]eams. And in the da[F]rk I h[G]ear your scr[C]eams.
Don't turn a[G]way just take my h[Am]and. And when you m[F]ake your fi[G]nal st[C]and.
I'll be right th[G]ere. I'll never l[Am]eave. And all I a[F]sk of y[G]ou is bel[C]ieve.
(Verse 2)
Your childhood eyes were so intense. Like bartering your innocence.
For bits of strings. Grown up wings you needed.
But when you had to add them up. You found that they were not enough.
To get you in, pay for sins repeated.
(Bridge 2)
And for all the years you borrowed. And for all the tears you hide.
And for all the fears you had to keep inside.
(Repeat chorus)
I never wa[C]nted to know Never wa[G]nted to see. I wa[Am]sted my time
Till ti[F]time wasted [G]me. Never wan[C]ted to go. Always wa[G]nted to stay.
Cause the pe[Am]rsons I am are the pa[F]rts that I p[G]lay. So I p[C]lot and I plan.
H[G]ope and I scheme. To the l[Am]ure of a night filled with unfi[F]nished dr[G]eams.
And I'm hol[C]holding on tight . To a wo[G]world gone astray.
As they ch[F]arge me for y[G]ears I can't p[C]ay.
