( F )
I've seen the tears and the
              ( Dm )
heartache, and I felt the pain.
( Bb )
I've seen the hatred in so many
             ( F )
lives lost in vain.
    ( C )
And yet through this darkness
                                 
there's always a light that
 ( Dm )                        ( Bb )
shines through
                       ( F )              ( C )
And takes me back home
         ( F )                                
Takes me back home

( Dm )
All of the promises broken
( Bb )                      ( F )
And all of the songs left unsung
     ( Bb )          ( Dm )                ( C )
Seems so far away as I make my way back to you

[Chorus:]
( Bb )                      ( F )
You gave me faith and you gave me
a world to believe in
       ( Bb )
You gave me your love to believe in
       ( Dm )                  ( C )
And feeling this love I can rise up above
        ( Bb )         ( C )        ( Dm )
And be strong and be whole once again

( F )
I know that dreams we hold on
             ( Dm )
to, can just fade away
   ( Bb )
And I know that words can be
                        ( F )
wasted, with so much to say
       ( C ) 
And when I feel helpless
there's always a hope that
( Dm )                   ( Bb )
shines through
             ( F )       ( C )
And makes me believe
            ( F )
Makes me believe

( Dm )
And I see for one fleeting moment
( Bb )                 ( F )
A paradise under the sun
( Bb )            ( Dm )               ( C )
I drift away and I make my way back to you

[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
( F )      ( Bb )
Life goes on
           ( Dm )                ( Bb )
It can leave us with sorrow and pain.
  ( F )     ( Bb )
And I hold on
   ( Bb )
To all that you are
   ( Bb )
To all that we'll be
       ( Bb )          ( C )
And I can go on once again

       ( G )
you gave me a world to believe in
( C9 )
You gave me your love to believe in
       ( Em )                 ( D )
And feeling this love I can rise up above
( C9 )             ( D )           ( Em )
And be strong and be whole once again (times 2)

            ( C9 )        ( D )        ( Em )
Because your love hears my soul once again.
      ( C9 )       ( D )       ( Em )
I can live, I can dream once again
            ( D )     ( G )  
Because you made me believe.
