[E]
[A] I [E]
could warrior down fights [A] and win the battle
I know [E] the taste of victory
Though I went through some nights consumed [A] by the shadows
I was crippled [E] emotionally
[F#m] Somehow I made [C#m] it to the heartache
Yes I [F#m] did
I [C#m] escaped
[C#]
[F#m] I found my way [C#m] out of darkness
I kept my [A] faith
I knew the day
Kept my faith
[E] The river was deep
I didn't [A] fall down
The mountain [E] was high
I didn't believe
[E] The valley was low
It [A] didn't stop me no more
I knew [G#m] you were with me
[A] I knew you were waiting [E] for me
Uh huh
With an endless desire
I [A] kept on searching
Sure [E] in time I asked for the lead
Like bridges on fire
[A]
[E] One touch and set me free Oh
[F#m] I don't regret [C#m] a single moment
[F#m] No I don't
I know you're not [C#m] looking back
[F#m] When I think of all those [C#m] disappointments
[A] I know you did
I kept my faith
When the [E] river was deep
I [A] didn't fall down
When the mountain [E] was high
I didn't [A] believe
When the [E] valley was low
It [A] didn't stop me
I knew [F#m] [C#m] you [F#m] were with me
I knew you were [F#] waiting for [E] me
So we [A] went [Am] on
[E] together
[G#] And danced [C#m] for me Oh boy
I know [A] this [Am] love we
[E] shared
It's meant [D] to be Oh
[F#m] I knew you [C#m] were with me Woo hoo
[F#m] I knew you were [C#m] with me
