[Intro]
Em D, C B7
Em D, C B7
[Verse]
Em D C B7
I had a purpose then, pursing the path to catalyze our dream
Em D C B7
But it’s a winding road, where you stumble and sway your way amongst the crowd
Em D
Don’t get me wrong, I would never go back in time – or play God
C B7
But is there a way I could earn back that endless sky?
Em
I can see it in your eyes
D
Don’t give me that look – ‘cause, you see
C B7
You’re the last person I need to pity me
Em
Cryin’ won’t pave a way to forgiveness
Em
Every sin you carve is ever lasting
C
I’m lost in this maze of emotion
D
Who am I waiting for?
Em
Now, these once blank pages of my notebook
Em
Become a plea to regain fallen virtue
C
All this time, I’ve been trying to run away
B7
from my own reality
[Chorus]
C D
We’ll live for something as soon as we find it
Em A
I’ve forgotten, please remind me, as day turns darkness
C D Em
Expired chances - but we gotta make it through again
A
‘cause there’s no where else to run
C D
There’s still so much here, a life worth living
Em A
And with time you’ll drown the feeling out (I’M ON THE WAY)
C D
It’s so nostalgic, maybe all the love is worth the pain
[Interlude]
Em Em Em D
[Verse]
Em D
It’s not a lack of pride,
C B7
But I know I’m to blame, so I apologize
Em D
I don’t know what to say
C B7
But I wish I could free the worry from your eyes
Em D
All we’ve been through and all that’s yet to come
C B7
And all that we have become will remain as we roll the dice
Em D
Once more, I close my eyes from the sight
C B7
But it’s all a futile fight, for it’s all etched inside my mind
Em
The invite of a white lie,
Em
Some can’t resist the call to join in
C D
But still, I thought I knew you better than to give into pressure
Em
Once fury thorns in your heart,
Em
The fire’s quick to consume you
C D
And what comes from those ashes – is your reality
[Chorus]
C D
We’ll live for something as soon as we find it
Em
May we come across that future
A
Can you hear me? I’m screaming
C D Em
Expired chances - but we gotta make it through again
A
‘cause there’s no where else to run
C D
It’s through your kindness, I’ll always be grateful
Em A
And I’ll strive to become stronger (I’M ON THE WAY)
C D
I’ll carry onward, gaining friend and foe along the way
[Bridge]
F
I try to make sense of why
G Am
We can’t figure how to unlock the next door
F
We bleed on this path we lead
G Am
But we cannot turn back, cause our story’s begun
F D
Open up your eyes - Open up your eyes
[Solo]
Eb F Gm
Eb F D
C D
There’s still so much here, a life worth living
Em A
And with time I'll drown the feeling out
C
I need to right all my wrongs
D Em
And finish all things I’ve left undone
A
We’ve only just begun
[Chorus]
C D
We’ll live for something as soon as we find it
Em
May we come across that future
A
Can you hear me? I’m screaming
C D Em
Expired chances - but we gotta make it through again
A
‘cause there’s no where else to run
C D
It’s through your kindness, I’ll always be grateful
Em A
And I’ll strive to become stronger (I’M ON THE WAY)
C D
It’s so nostalgic, maybe all the love is worth the pain
