Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Piano riff)

Verse 1

I have made mistakes

and I have been afraid

I have felt alone

Then you called my name

Things were crashing loudly

Happening all around me

But your still small voice

Was all that I could hear

Bridge 1

I am here

I'm holding you

You'll make it through this

A2 Bmin (B on way to chorus)

I am here, I am here

x2

Chorus

Whenever you run away

whenever you lose your faith

It's just another stroke of

the pen on the page

A lonely ray of hope

is all that you need

B E (if second time through, do a C#min for bridge 2)

to see a beautiful history

Instrumental segue

(continued from Chorus)

Verse 2

Well I have been such a fool

when I have known the truth

I've wasted so much time

Doing what I want to do

I've been living solely

for myself and myself only

->

but your still small voice

is whispering

Chorus

Bridge 2

I toss and turn and scream

I try to do everything

with two feet on the ground

I just keep falling down again

I feel so far from home

Completely on my own

->

and then I hear you say

I am here, I am here

Whenever you run away

whenever you lose your faith

It's just another stroke of

the pen on the page

A lonely ray of hope

is all that you need

to see a beautiful history

a beautiful history

a beautiful history
