 C            G                   F
You may not know this but you are everything

             Am     F   G
You've ever needed

 C                      G
Heaven with a touch of New York

 F                      G
Silver with a touch of gold

           C                G
And I can see where you're goin'

       F                    Am
But I don't really know the way

F     G   C
It's got too many changes

     G
Too much re-arranging

     F                   G
Too many ways to go a-stray


Chorus:

                 F             C
So if you wanna go let me go along

           F               G
I'd never walk that road alone

                  F
I've hard it was hard

                   C
I've heard it was long

                      G
But we'll come back alive

      Am          F       C
Cause only the strong survive


     C                     G
You walk on a wire make a game of desire

          F                      Am  F
Pitchin' pennies down a wishing well
 G      C                               G
You're leading the blind through their high and

               F                     G
Low times but baby can you lead yourself

    C                  G
So calm down honey forget about the money

        F                      Am   F
If you need me I'll always be there

 G  C                      G
Go ride your white horse alone of course

              F                   G
Cause if you need me I'll always care


(Chorus)

(Outro)  C  G  F   Am  F  G     
 G  F   Am  F  G
