On My Way Here
by Clay Aiken

Eb (x43121@3)              BbI (x1333x@1)took my first step
Cm (x3101x@1)                    AbOn (xx1114@1)that black and white kitchen floor
I sometimes wonder if that house is even there anymore
I had my first glimpse
Of love when I was five
I watched two people split apart
But still the three of us survived

Cm (x3101x@1)             BbI've (x1333x@1)seen the best
AbI've (xx1114@1)seen the worst
EbI (x43121@3)wouldn't change what I've been through
Cm (x3101x@1)             BbI've (x1333x@1)touched the sky
AbI've (xx1114@1)hit the wall
                      BbBut (x1333x@1)I did what I had to

Chorus
            EbOn (x43121@3)my way here
            BbWhere (x1333x@1)I am now
                 CmI've (x3101x@1)learned to fly
      Ab (xx1114@1)                      EbI (x43121@3)have to want to leave the ground
      Bb (x1333x@1)                      CmI've (x3101x@1)fallen hard but I've been loved
            Ab (xx1114@1)                CmAnd (x3101x@1)in the end it all works out
Ab (xx1114@1)                    Eb (x43121@3)     BbMy (x1333x@1)faith has conquered fear
On my way here

Oh yeah, yeah

My address has changed
Almost every year
I've found that standing still
Can quickly make a lifetime disappear
I'd rather try and fail
A thousand times denied
And this, whenever you feel pain
It lets you know you're alive
I've been a fool
I've been afraid
Yeah, I've been loved
I've been lied to
I've been wrong
And I've been right
I stood up when I had to

Chorus

Cm (x3101x@1)       BbNo (x1333x@1)guarantees
 Ab (xx1114@1)                     EbI (x43121@3)believed that I would find
Cm (x3101x@1)                 BbAn (x1333x@1)open door or a light
Ab (xx1114@1)                      BbTo (x1333x@1)lead me to the other side
                   BbI (x1333x@1)guess that is why
