[Bm] [G]
[D]
[Bm]
I've built some dreams, I've held them [Bm] close
[D] Celebrated perfect days
[Bm]
I lost the [D] one I loved the most
[Bm] Now she's six [D] feet of earth away
[Bm]
[A] I've cried
[Bm] Till I thought I couldn't stop
And [D] I've [A] laughed
Until [Bm] it hurt
And [A] I've prayed
[Bm] In an empty parking lot
And [A] my friends [F#m] were [G] my judge
[D]
Sometimes [E] the [Em] joy
[G] Can [A] give you wings to [D] fly
Sometimes [B] the pain
[G] Cut your soul [A] just like a [D] knife
[Em] There's fear, [G] there's faith
There's [A] loss, [B] there's [Bm] grace
[A] I've seen it from [D] both sides
[G] This [D] is what it means to be [Bm] alive [D] Alive
[G]
This [D] is what it means to be [G] [Bm] alive
[D]
I've seen the face I've held in the [G] hand
Of a child [D] without a home
[G]
[D] A casualty of circumstance
[G] Written off [D] in all the love
[G]
[A] I've cried
[Bm] For the wars that they've been through
And [A] I've walked by their [Bm] side
[A] I've watched
[Bm] What the power of love can do
[A] And how [F#m] it changes
[G] lives
[D] Sometimes [Em] the joy
[G] Can [A] give you wings to [D] fly
Sometimes [Em] the pain
[G] Cut your soul [A] just like a knife
[D] [Em] There's fear, [G] there's faith
There's [A] loss, [Bm] there's grace
I've seen it from [E] both sides
