[Intro]
G C Em C
[Verse 1]
G
When I was younger I would run away
C
And read a book I’d treasure every day
Em
My hero jumped right off the page
C
You set me outta my cage
G
You shined a light on all that I could do
C
Gentle but stronger, laughing, crying too
Em D
Never afraid to show yourself
C
You brought me outta my shell
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Bm
What happened inside my soul?
Em F#m G
When did I start to give it up?
Am Bm
Now that I’m older I feel a hole
C D
I’m goin’ back I wanna open up
[Chorus]
C D G Em
I open a book and my story to see you again
C D Am
I know that you’re there for me
Bm C D G Em
Remember the time when you gave me the strength to begin
C D G
I know you’re a part of me
[Post-Chorus]
C
Take a step at a time
Bm Em
‘Cause I gotta believe
C D G
I’m gonna make the climb
C D
When I gotta be strong
G Em
And I have to be brave
C D G
I know you’re coming along
C D G
I know you’re coming along
[Verse 2]
G
When people grow up they stop having fun
C
Instead they live by logic and reason
Em
Emotions taking second place
C
God get me outta this race
G
Life in a noisy city takes a toll
C
No longer laughing from my heart at all
Em D
I wonder if I’ll be OK
C
I don’t fit in the charade
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Bm
What happened inside my soul?
Em F#m G
When did I start to give it up?
Am Bm
Now that I’m older I feel a hole
C D
I’m goin’ back I wanna open up
[Chorus]
C D G Em
I open a book and my story to see you again
C D G
I know that you’re there for me
C D G Em
Remember the time when you gave me the strength to begin
C D G
I know you’re a part of me
[Post-Chorus]
C
Take a step at a time
Bm Em
‘Cause I gotta believe
C D G
I’m gonna make the climb
C D
When I gotta be strong
G Em
And I have to be brave
C D G
I know you’re coming along
[Bridge]
C D
Reading your story’s like a time machine
G Em C
I hope the pages never disappear in my heart
D G
And you live forever in me
[Chorus]
C D G Em
I open a book and my story to see you again
C D G
I know that you’re there for me
C D G Em
Remember the time when you gave me the strength to begin
C D G
I know you’re a part of me
[Chorus]
