VERSE 1
********
 F#m
I see the lights
   D
Of a distant bay
   E        D
They seem to shine on me again

And their beams
 E       B
Uncover all the truth

-------------------------------------------------
VERSE 2
********
 F#m
I think of all
   D
That could have been
  E          D
Of all the things that looked so real

And I know
   E         B
They won???t come back to me

-------------------------------------------------
VERSE 3
********
F#m      D
  Just like a child
      E
I tried to hide
    D
My true desire, my state of mind
    E
All my life
      B
Was like a run

-------------------------------------------------
VERSE 4
********
F#m      D
  And now I???m here
       E
With just one plan
     D
I want to find myself again
    E     F#m
See the mystery of fate

VERSE 5
********
 F#m
I seem to hear
  D
The freedom bell
   E        D
It???s in the distance, everywhere

I want to go
  E        B
But I can???t move my feet

-------------------------------------------------
VERSE 6
********
F#m     D
  I sit and wait

And it???s not the light for me
