VERSE 1:
 
     A5          E5(ii)
Took 25 years of climbing these stairs
 
   B5     C#5         A5   E5(ii)
To realise    my destination
 
     B5                E5   (B5)
In a world that let me down
 
A5               E5(ii)
Funny how when a good thing's found
 
   B5           C#5             A5      E5(ii)
We let it slide     Take it for granted
 
        B5
Like we don't need it around
 
CHORUS:
 
       A5       E5(ii) B5
By the time you figure out
 
              C#5
If you should be here
 
  A5       E5(ii)  B5
I hope I'm still around
 
       A5       E5(ii) B5
By the time you get in line
 
         C#5
To buy a seat here
 
  A5        E5(ii) B5
I hope I'm still around
 
intro again
 
VERSE 2:
 
     A5          E5(ii)
Took 25 years of saying these prayers
 
   B5      C#5            A5    E5(ii)
To realize     that my salvation
 
      A5           E5
Would never let me down
 
A5               E5(ii)
Funny how when a good thing's found
 
   B5            C#5             A5     E5(ii)
We let it slide,     take it for granted
 
        B5
Like we don't need it around
 
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
BRIDGE: C#5  B5  A5  A5  C#5  B5  A5  E5(ii)  C#5  B5  A5  A5              E5(ii)  F#5
1X  this is the part where just guitar 1 is playing, everything else comes in on Brige 2
 
BRIDGE 2: C#5, B5, A5, A5, C#5,
A5, E5(ii), C#5, B5, A5, A5, E5, B5
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
OUTRO: A5, E5(ii), B5, C#5, A5,
