[INTRO]
Gm | |


[VERSE 1]
     Gm
I’ve worn the path, I’ve hit the wall
        F6/9
I’m the one who rose and fall
     Ebmaj7
I’ve played my heart when I played the part,
       F6/9
But it got me through the rain
       Gm
I have felt the strain, I’ve made mistakes
         F6/9
With the mon - sters in my head
    Ebmaj7
But in    the end, you’re standing there
           F6/9
You’re the one who always cares


[CHORUS 1]
      Eb F Gm   F6
Cause I    stand
Eb F Gm   F6
I    stand
Eb
I am standing here
Gm
  Just because of you
F                 Dm     F
  Every part of me  is a part of you
Eb F (pause) Gm
I            stand

[VERSE 2]
    Gm
I’m standing tall, I can hold it all
      F6/9
Now I see where I belong
    Ebmaj7
The choice I made helped me understand,
         F6/9
Now this life is mine to play
Gm            F6/9
I am thanking you, you made me
Ebmaj7
You   are my air
F
I’ll always care!
