Ab Fm Db
[Verse 1]
Ab
All my life, I've waited
Eb
For a place to feel like home
Fm
With an open arm
Fm
Away from harm
Db
And never alone
[Verse 2]
Ab
Well, I found a place I matter
Eb
But the future's so unclear
Fm
Like I'm in a maze
Fm
There's a million ways
Db
It all could disappear
[Verse 3]
Ab
How do you go from sleeping
Eb
In a room under a stair?
Fm
To the one everyone
Fm
Hangs their hopes on
Db
It's more than I can bear
[Pre-Chorus 1]
N.C. Eb
When you're standing on the edge
Ab Db
Looking out into the sky
Db
Do you jump if you're not sure
Eb
That you can fly?
[Chorus 1]
Ab
Can I be the one?
Eb
Could I change what's done?
Fm
Should I turn away
Fm
Refuse to stay
Db
Or give all I can give?
Ab
Will I ever be
Eb
What they see in me?
Fm
If I learn to trust
Fm
Or am I just
Db Eb
The boy
N.C. Ab
who lived?
[Interlude]
Ab
[Verse 4]
Ab
Do you choose what's right or easy?
Eb
Pick the path that you can see?
Fm
No, I have to try
Fm
Look him in the eye
Db
'Cause it's more than only me
[Verse 5]
Ab
It's the choices that define us
Eb
It shows the person that you are
Fm
So I'll stand my ground
Fm
Feel my heartbeat pound
Db
'Cause I'm more than just this scar
[Verse 6]
Ab
As a wise man always told me,
Eb
"In the dark, you'll find the light.”
Fm
So I'll make my way and say,
Db
"I won't go down without a fight!"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
N.C. Eb
When you're standing on the edge
Ab Db
Looking out into the sky
Db
You jump and hope
Eb
You grow your wings to fly
[Chorus 2]
Ab
I can be the one
Eb
I can touch the sun
Fm
So I'll find a way
Fm
To a brighter day
Db
And give all I can give
Ab
I can try to be
Eb
What they see in me
Fm
If I learn to trust
Fm
I'm more than just
Db Eb
The boy
Fm
who lived
[Bridge]
Fm Db
When your back's against the wall
Ab
And you stumble and you fall
Ab
Do you follow through or
Eb Fm
Do you disappear into the crowd?
Db
When it all comes down to you
Ab
You know what you have to do
Ab Eb
This can't all be for nothing
Eb
I'll try to make you proud
Eb N.C.
I'll make you proud
[Chorus 3]
A
I will be the one
E
Do what must be done
F#m
Standing side by side
F#m
Push the dark aside
D
'Til there's nowhere left to hide
A
I can try to be
E
What they see in me
F#m
If I learn to trust
F#m
I'm more than just
D E
The boy
E A
who lived
