INTRO (Piano riff)
E Bmin F#m A2

VERSE 1
E            Bmin
I have made mistakes
            F#m
and I have been afraid
         A2
I have felt alone
                 E (acoustic guitar comes in)
Then you called my name

                    Bmin
Things were crashing loudly
            F#m
Happening all around me
                  A2
But your still small voice
                 E
Was all that I could hear

BRIDGE 1
E
I am here
     Bmin           
I'm holding you
      F#m
You'll make it through this
A2            (Bmin) (B on way to chorus)
I am here, I am here
x2

CHORUS
A2                   E
Whenever you run away
B                  A2
whenever you lose your faith
                   E
It's just another stroke of
       B            A2
the pen on the page
            E
A lonely ray of hope
    B            A2
is all that you need
     B              E (if second time through, do a C#min for bridge 2)
to see a beautiful history

INSTRUMENTAL SEGUE
E(continued from Chorus) Bmin F#m A2

VERSE 2
E                  Bmin
Well I have been such a fool
                      F#m            
when I have known the truth
                   A2
I've wasted so much time
                  E
Doing what I want to do
            Bmin
I've been living solely
                     F#m
for myself and myself only
                 Bmin -> B
but your still small voice
      
is whispering

CHORUS

BRIDGE 2
( C#m )         A2             E
I toss and turn and scream
    B             C#m
I try to do everything
             A2             E
with two feet on the ground
    B                   C#m
I just keep falling down again
   A2                 E
I feel so far from home
B
Completely on my own
G#    A        Bsus -> B
and then I hear you say
A2          B
I am here, I am here


A2                   E
Whenever you run away
B                  A2
whenever you lose your faith
                   E
It's just another stroke of
       B            A2
the pen on the page
            E
A lonely ray of hope
    B            A2
is all that you need
     B              A2            E
to see a beautiful history
   B          A2            E
a beautiful history
   B          A2            E
a beautiful history
   B          A2            B      A2...
