[C#] _ I _ almost gave [C] up holding on _ _ [A] _
Watching [F#m] us give [C#] in to [C] our _ _ fears
[E] _ _ [G#] _
[Fm] I _ _ _ [Em] _ almost _ believed [G] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [G#m] _ _ Almost _ _ [C#]
[F#m] believed
[A#m] _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] All [A#m] [A#] the world is [Cm] helpless sorrow _ _
[A#m] _ _ No [Fm] _ [A#m] hope for a bright _ tomorrow

almost [B] _ believed [Em] _ _ [F#] _
Almost _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _

_ [A#m] _ _
_ [C#] All the sorrow [D#] consumed _ _ _ To _ _ peace among _ men I never [D#m] conceived
_ _ _ [G#] _ But I'm a ship [Gm] in _ the [D] _ [E] thick of it _ _ _ [G] all _
I'll [G#] _ _ keep _ _ _
[Gm] faith [D] _ _ _ [Gm] _ Like [C] so many souls who [E] won't be drowned
[Gm] By evil [G#] in the [Fm] world _ _ I [G#] _ _ have _ _ _ _ _ faith [A#] _ _ _

I [E] almost [Dm] _ believed _ _
[F#] _ _ Well, [C#] _ _ I do _ _ _ _ [F#m] [A#] believe _
[C#] All the [D#] path [A#m] to peace [Cm] is endless _ _ [A#m] _ _ _ [A#]
Choosing to [G#] close our eyes [A#m] makes [D] our [D#]
thoughts _ _ _ limitless
But if [G#] something's enough _ _ _ [E]
I'll give _ _ up
[C] _
[G#] I'm sure enough _ [A#] _ And I [C] won't give up _
