[Verse]
C G Bb F
So after all these one night stands - You've ended up with heart in hand
C G F
A child alone on your own, retreating.
C G Bb F
Regretful for the things you're not - And all the dreams you haven't got
C G F
Without a home, a heart of stone, lies bleeding.
G F
And for all the roads you followed - And for all you did not find
G F
And for all the dreams you had to leave behind...
C G Am F G C
I am the way, I am the light - I am the dark inside the night.
G Am F G C
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams - And in the dark I hear your screams.
G Am F G C
Don't turn away, just take my hand - And when you make your final stand
G Am F G C
I'll be right there, I'll never leave - All I ask of you is believe.
[Verse]
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...
[Verse]
C G
I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
Am F G
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.
