intro: F-C-Dm-Bb

F              c
 sa hindi inaasahang,
Dm                 Bb
Pag tatagpo ng mga mundo,
F                      C
May minsan lang na nagdugtong,
Dm                       Bb
Damang-dama na ang ugong nito,
F                 C     
Di pa ba sapat ang sakit at lahat
Dm                  Bb
Na hinding hindi ko ipararanas sayo,
F                      C
Ibinubunyag ka ng iyong matang,
Dm               Bb
Sumisigaw ng pag sinta

Chorus:

F                                   C
Ba't d pa patulan ang pag suyong nagkulang
          Dm                  Bb
Tayong Umaasang, Hilaga't kanluran
            F                  C
Ikaw ang hantungan at bilang kanlungan mo,
Dm                Bb
Ako ang sasagip sa'yo...


Saan nga ba patungo, 
Nakayapak at nahihiwagaan na
Ang bagyo ng tadhana ay
Dinadala ako sa init ng bisig mo

Ba't di pa sabihin
Ang hindi mo maamin
Ipauubaya na lang ba 'to sa hangin
'Wag mo ikatakot
Ang bulong ng damdamin mo
Naririto ako't nakikinig sa'yo

Whoo... oohh... ho... ooohh... 
Whoo... oohh... ho... ooohh... 
Whoo... oohh... ho... ooohh... 
Whoo... ohhh... 

Lalalala...

Tadhana

A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time

Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

Roll into your town and I'm walking around

And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A

I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo

Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words

No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
