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
           E
For day to come

         E                 B   F#m B F#m
And it???s not the light for me
