Standard (EADGBE)

So after all these one night stands - You've ended up with heart in hand

A child alone on your own, retreating.

Regretful for the things you're not - And all the dreams you haven't got

Without a home, a heart of stone, lies bleeding.

And for all the roads you followed - And for all you did not find

And for all the dreams you had to leave behind...

I am the way, I am the light - I am the dark inside the night.

I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams - And in the dark I hear your screams.

Don't turn away, just take my hand - And when you make your final stand

I'll be right there, I'll never leave - All I ask of you is believe.

Your childhood eyes were so intense - While bartering your innocence

For bits of string, the grown-up wings you needed.

And when you had to add them up - You found that they were not enough

To get you in pay for sins repeated

And for all the years you borrowed - And for all the tears you cried

And for all the fears you had to keep inside...

I am the way...

I never wanted to know, never wanted to see

I wasted my time till time wasted me.

I never wanted to go, always wanted to stay

'Cause the persons I am are the parts that I play.

So I plot and I plan, and I hope and I scheme

To the lure of a night filled with unfinished dreams

And I'm holding on tight to a world gone astray

As they charge me for years I can no longer pay.

[solos and arpeggios are very easy]

Believe...
