F                       C                      F
(Breathe)I wish I could cross my arms, and cross your mind

                        C                G                             F
Cause I believe you'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve

                            C                        F
All my life I wish I broke mirrors, instead of promises

                       C                    G                     
Cause all I see, is a shattered conscience staring right back at me

F                            C                          F   
I wish I had covered all my tracks completely cause I'm so afraid

                          C             G                             
Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train?

F                          C                     
Lift your arms only heaven knows, where the danger grows

 F                             C                G
And it's safe to say there's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way



 F               C                  Am                  G
(Help is on the way, Help is on the way, Help is on the way...)


Help is on the way



F             C               G                             
I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity

F                  C             G    
Cause it came down like a tidal wave, and sorrow swept over me



F, C, G, F, C, G



F                             C                          F     
Depression, please cut to the chase and cut a long story short

                            C                G
Oh please be done. How much longer can this drama afford to run?

F                               C                                 F
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend

                       C                G    
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again



  F            C             Am               G               F
(Back down again, back down again, back down again, back down again, back 

        C              Am                G
down again, back down again, back down again.) 



F              C              G                                   
I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity

F                   C           G 
Cause it came down like a tidal wave, and sorrow swept over me

F           C               G 
When I was given grace and love, I was blind but now I can see

F               C             G
Cause I found a new hope from above, and courage swept over me



C, F, G, C, F, G


                 C                        F       G 
It hurts just to wake up, whenever you're wearing thin

             C                    F       G
Alone on the outside, so tired of looking in

            C                            F         G
The end is uncertain and I've never been so afraid

                   C              
But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope

          F       G    C..... (fade out.)
And that makes me feel brave...
