Em      D               C               Em
I had a purpose then, pursing the path to catalyze our dream
Em      D               C                                                   D
But it’s a winding road, where you stumble and sway your way amongst the crowd 

[Verse]
Em                                      D                       
Don’t get me wrong, I would never go back in time – or play God
C                                       D
But is there a way I could earn back that endless sky?
Em
I can see it in your eyes
D
Don’t give me that look – ‘cause, you see
C                       D
You’re the last person I need to pity me 

[Pre-Chorus]
C
Cryin’ won’t pave a way to forgiveness 
D
Every sin you carve is ever lasting  
Em
I’m lost in this maze of emotion 
A
Who am I waiting for? 
C
Now, these once blank pages of my notebook 
D                               Em
Become a plea to regain fallen virtue 
Em                       D                               C
All this time, I’ve been trying to run away from my own reality 

[Chorus]
Em                      D
We’ll live for something as soon as we find it 
C               D               Em
I’ve forgotten, please remind me, as day turns darkness 
Em                      D                       Em
Expired chances - but we gotta make it through again
                                D
‘cause there’s no where else to run

[Chorus]
Em                          D
There’s still so much here, a life worth living 
C                               A
And with time you’ll drown the feeling out (I’M ON THE WAY) 
Em              D                               Em
It’s so nostalgic, maybe all the love is worth the pain  

[Verse 2]
Em      D
It’s not a lack of pride, 
C                       Em
But I know I’m to blame, so I apologize 
Em              D
I don’t know what to say
C                                       Em
But I wish I could free the worry from your eyes 

[Chorus]
Em                              D
All we’ve been through and all that’s yet to come 
C                                               D
And all that we have become will remain as we roll the dice
Em                              D
Once more, I close my eyes from the sight 
                C                                       D
But it’s all a futile fight, for it’s all etched inside my mind 

[Pre-Chorus]
C
The invite of a white lie, 
D
Some can’t resist the call to join in 
Em                                      A
But still, I thought I knew you better than to give into pressure
C
Once fury thorns in your heart, 
D
The fire’s quick to consume you 
Em                                      A
And what comes from those ashes – is your reality 

[Chorus]
Em                      D
We’ll live for something as soon as we find it 
C                       D
May we come across that future 
Em                      D
Can you hear me? I’m screaming 
Em
Expired chances, 
D                               Em
But we gotta make it through again
                                D
‘cause there’s no where else to run

[Post-Chorus]
Em                      D
It’s through your kindness, I’ll always be grateful 
C                       A
And I’ll strive to become stronger (I’M ON THE WAY)
Em              D                               Em
I’ll carry onward, gaining friend and foe along the way 

[Bridge]
F
I try to make sense of why 
G                       Am
We can’t figure how to unlock the next door 
F
We bleed on this path we lead
G                       Am
But we cannot turn back, cause our story’s begun 
F               Am      F       Am
Open up your eyes - Open up your eyes 

[Chorus]
Em                              D
There’s still so much here, a life worth living
C                               A
And with time I’ll drown the feeling out
Em              
I need to right all my wrongs
D                               C
And finish all things I’ve left undone 
Em
We’ve only just begun

[Post-Chorus]
Em                      D
We’ll live for something as soon as we find it 
C                       D
May we come across that future 
Em                      D
Can you hear me? I’m screaming 
Em
Expired chances, 
D                               Em
But we gotta make it through again
                                D
‘cause there’s no where else to run

[Outro]
Em                      D
It’s through your kindness, I’ll always be grateful 
C                       A
And I’ll strive to become stronger (I’M ON THE WAY)
Em              D                               Em
It’s so nostalgic, maybe all the love is worth the pain
