INTRO (Piano riff)
VERSE 1
I have made mistakes
and I have been afraid
I have felt alone
E (acoustic guitar comes in)
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
E(continued from Chorus) Bm9 F#m A2
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
(C#m)
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
A2...
