AmbutE as you walFked into my lifDm7e, you showed what neAmed-Eed to be shown

and i always knew what was right i just didn't know that i might

peel away and coose to see such a different sight.

2 verse: chords are the same as first verse

never cared, never wanted,

never sought to see what flaunted.

so on purpose, so in my face,

couldn't see beyond my own place.

it was so easy not to behold what i could hold.

but you taught me i could change

whatever came within these shallow days.

Cand i will nevGer see the skAmy the same Gway and

i will learn to say good'bye to yesterday and I

will never cease to fly if held down and

i will always reach too high cause i've seen

cF2ause i've seen..Gsus......

Am as the sunG__ shines through

Fmaj7 it pushes away G and pushes ahead Am

it fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead

and i didn't know that i could be so blind to all that is so real

but as illusion dies, i see there is so much to be revealed
