[Verse 1]
 
   C               G
So after all those one night stands
       Bb            F
You've ended up with heart in hand
  C            G              F
A child alone, on your own, retreating
 
  C               G
Regretful for the things you're not
    Bb                 F
And all the dreams you haven't got
    C             G                   F
Without a home, a heart of stone lies bleeding
 
        G
And for all the roads you followed
        F
And for all you did not find
        G                                 F
And for all the things you had to leave behind
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C          G             Am
  I am the way, I am the light
         F      G        C
I am the dark inside the night
            G                  Am
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams
           F      G         C
And in the dark I hear your screams
            G                 Am
Don't turn away, just take my hand
             F         G     C
And when you make your final stand
              G                 Am
I'll be right there, I'll never leave
      F      G        C     G/C F/C
All I ask of you is believe
 
C G/C F/C
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     C                      G
Your childhood eyes were so intense
      Bb             F
While bartering your innocence
    C                   G                  F
For bits of string, the grown-up wings you needed
 
    C               G
But when you had to add them up
    Bb                    F
You found that they were not enough
   C           G            F
To get you in, pay for sins repeated
 
        G
And for all the years you borrowed
        F
And for all the tears you cried
        G                               F
And for all the fears you had to keep inside, yeah
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C         G              Am
  I am the way, I am the light
         F    G          C
I am the dark inside the night
            G                  Am
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams
           F      G         C
And in the dark I hear your screams
            G                 Am
Don't turn away, just take my hand
             F         G     C
And when you make your final stand
              G                 Am
I'll be right there, I'll never leave
         F       G        C      G
And all I ask of you is believe
 Am   F G
Yeah
 
 
[Bridge]
 
        C                     G
I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
  Am                  F           G
I wasted my time till time wasted me
      C                    G
Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
           Am                   F            G
'Cause the person I am are the parts that I play
     C               G
So I plot and I plan, hope and I scheme
       Am                          F          G
To the lure of a night filled with unfinished dreams
        C                     G
And I'm holding on tight to a world gone astray
        Am                   F G
As they charge me for years
        C    G
I can't pay
 Am    F G
Yeah

C          G             Am
  I am the way, I am the light
         F      G        C
I am the dark inside the night
            G                  Am
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams
             F    G         C
And in the dark I hear your screams
           G                  Am
Don't turn away, just take my hand
             F         G     C
And when you make your final stand
