D - Em - D/F# - G - A7 
 
Bm         Em 
How have I come to this 
A         D 
How did I slip and fall 
G7M                  A 
How did I throw half a lifetime away 
            D          G/D D A7/C# 
Without any thought at all 
 
This should've been my time 

It's over, it never began 

Facing a world, for once not on my side 

I simply turned and ran 
 

C/E      D7/F#       G 
I try to blame it on fortune 
A7/G                      F#m 
Some kind of shift in the stars 
Bm                          Em 
But I know the truth and it haunts me 
A7                        D 
I learned it a little too late 

 
C/E        D7/F#              G 
I know the truth and it mocks me 
A7/G                    F#     Bm 
I know the truth and it shocks me 
Em         A             G/D D 
It's flown just a little too far 
 

D - Em - D/F# - G - A7 --demo version only 
 

In AIDA soundtrack this point goes down 5 half steps 
 
People have faith in me 

I think I once did too 

I promise whoever has a hold on our lives 

I'll see the bad times through 
 
This should have been my time 

It's over, it never began 

Facing a world, for once not on my side 

I simply turned and ran

It's flown just a little, just a little too far
