INTRO: Dm   Am   Dm   Am   Ddim   Cdim   Am   E


Am                  Dm
Shying tides wash away
Am                    Dm
And dreams that fell astray
      Ddim              Cdim
Would burn like ice and freeze like coal
Am               E
Making you turn away


  Dm                Am
I feel that you're alive in there
  Dm                  Am
I know that your life was unfair
      C                     G
But believe me, you'll stay gasping for air
      E             Am   Am/G   Am/F#  
Til I show you to escape de-----spair
Am/F   E   E/G#   Am
Oo---------------ooh


      Am             Dm
Don't let them all erode your pride
     Am                       Dm
Your dreams were true and you really tried
  Ddim               Cdim
A lesson forced is a lesson told
   Am                     E
So we'll find the time to come alive


  Dm                Am
I feel that you're alive in there
  Dm                  Am
I know that your life was unfair
      C                     G
But believe me, you'll stay gasping for air
      E             Am   Am/G   Am/F#  
Til I show you to escape de-----spair

     Am                     Dm
They fought so hard just to make you fail
    Am                     Dm
You fought so hard so they won't prevail
    Ddim            Cdim
And in the end they powered you
    Am                      E
But you have something they can't entail

  Am                  Dm
A love that reaches across the sky
    Am             Dm
For generations we can't know why
   Ddim               Cdim
It stems through you, it's natural
    Am               E
You story here won't ever die


  Dm                Am
I feel that you're alive in there
  Dm                  Am
I know that your life was unfair
      C                     G
But believe me, you'll stay gasping for air
      E             Am   Am/G   Am/F#  
Til I show you to escape de-----spair
Am/F   E   E/G#   Am
Oo---------------ooh

I love the way you used to swish your hair
   Dm                           Am
It spattered me with the most unbearable care
      C                      G
But believe me, they'll stay gasping for air
