Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Piano riff)

Verse 1

I have made mistakes

 and I have been afraid

 I have felt alone

 Then you called my name

 Things were crashing loudly

 Happening all around me

 But your still small voice

 Was all that I could hear

Bridge 1

I am here

 I'm holding you

 You'll make it through this

A2 Bmin (B on way to chorus)

I am here, I am here

x2

Chorus

Whenever you run away

whenever you lose your faith

 It's just another stroke of

 the pen on the page

 A lonely ray of hope

 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

(continued from Chorus)

Verse 2

Well I have been such a fool

 when I have known the truth

 I've wasted so much time

 Doing what I want to do

 I've been living solely

 for myself and myself only

  ->

but your still small voice

is whispering

Chorus

Bridge 2

 I toss and turn and scream

 I try to do everything

 with two feet on the ground

 I just keep falling down again

 I feel so far from home

Completely on my own

->

and then I hear you say

I am here, I am here

Whenever you run away

whenever you lose your faith

 It's just another stroke of

 the pen on the page

 A lonely ray of hope

 is all that you need

 to see a beautiful history

 a beautiful history

 a beautiful history
