I`ve been out walking for hours. I`ve got something on my mind.
How did we get here? Where are we going?
And why is life so hard?

Part of bars 2 and 3 od the intro are repeated here, you can hear it clearly :)


Em                         Dadd4          C
I read the stories, see the photographs.
            Dadd4  Em
World`s in a crazy space.
Em                 C   Dadd4      C    Dadd4
I`ve got to hold on to my dreams.
               C               Dadd4
There`s just no other place.
               C             Dadd4
There`s just no other place.


G            D                Dsus4  D   Dsus4   Cadd9    G
  I believe    we can change                            anything.

           Em7   Csus2    D         Dsus4   Cadd9         G
I believe                    we can rise            above    it.

G            D  Dsus4   D              Dsus4    Cadd9     G
  I believe               there`s a reason for      everything.

           Em7   Csus2   D    Dsus4    Cadd9       G
I believe                     in              my dream.


I`ve tried to match the words to the place where the chords are played to give
a rough idea of where Joe plays them. But you can get it best if you play it!

Other choruses

3.
I`ve seen the shadows of the living.
I`ve seen them turn and walk away.
And I keep searching for the right words.
To send these thoughts away.

4.
There`s a picture I like to look at.
A picture of a beautiful face.
And I see something in her eyes.
Sends me to a better place.
Send sme to a better place.



Thats as much as you need to play until the second solo for now. If you want the
second solo then let me know and I can add it :-) Have fun!
