[G#m] Every night I [C#]
say [F#] a prayer In [D#m] the hopes [B] that [F#] there's a heaven
[C#] [F#] But every [G#m] day [C#] I'm [F#] confused [D#m] As the saints [B] turn into [D#]
sinners
[C#] [D#m] All the heroes [F#] and legends I knew as a [C] child [B] Have fallen to [F#] idols to play
[C#] And [F#] I feel [G#m] this empty [C#]
place [D#m] inside [B] So afraid that I've lost [F#m] my faith
[C#] Show [F#] me the way, [C#] [B]
show [F#] me the way [B]
Take me [F#]
tonight [C#] to the river

[C#] [F#] I close [G#m] my eyes [C#] and know [F#] there's peace [D#m] In a world [B] so filled [C#] with hatred
[D#m] Then I wake up each [A#] morning [F#] and cut on [C] the news [B]
Five [F#] weeks so [C#] far to go
[F#] And I keep [G#m] on hoping [C#]
for [D#m] a sign [B] So afraid I just [C#] won't know
Show [F#] me the way, [C#] [B]
show [F#] me the way [B]
Bring me [F#]
tonight [C#] to the mountain
[D#m] And take my [C#] confusion [G#m]
