Tom: G

G      C    D       Em        C       G

[Verse 1]
G             C           G          Am         D  Dsus
Something has been awaked; I feel it deep within my bones
G            Em                 Bm7                  D/F#
It’s building strength within me to take control, or so I’m told

[Chorus]
G                    C                 Em             D/F#                G
I won’t believe that you might take me; you’d like to think that you could
G                       C                 Em          D/F#            G
My gloves are off. I’ll come out swinging; don’t ever tell me the odds
Em          D/F#          G
I’d like to see your best shot

[Intro]
G      C    D       Em        C       G

[Verse 2]
G         C           G               D
This fire raging in me will burn down all that it may touch
G                Em             Bm             D/F#
I’ll go out in a blaze of glory; you will fade silently to dust

[Chorus]
G                C             Em         D/F#          G
I won’t give you my permission; my body’s mine to command
G                   C               Em            D/F#          G
I need to feel like I can fight this; I’d like to think that I can
Em          D/F#          G
I’d like to think that I can

[Bridge]
C          D     Am                Em
Wait! Just wait! Why can’t we just live together?
C       D            Am               Em
Why, oh why? There’s room for both of us to stay here
Am       D/F#      C        Am   G            C
We could live like they do on TV, with tape across the floor
C                  D/F#                     C          G
You take your things, I’ll keep mine in this imperfect harmony

[Solo]
G      C       D       G         C       Bm7
G      C       D       Em        D       G

[Verse 3]
G                   C              G             D
I’m still down here with my shadow, somehow both sodden and hollow
G                Em               Bm           D/F#
I can’t remember what it felt like without the weight of this load
G                   C                 G               D
I’d like to think I made a difference; was I good? Is anything unsaid?
G                   Em               Bm             D/F#
I wish that I could say that I have no regrets, but there is no time left

[Chorus]
G                C        Em        D/F#         G
Forget today and turn away from the light up ahead
Em       D/F#          G
Soon, my pain, it will end
G                 C        Em    D/F#          G
From here on, I’m on my own so I wish you the best
Em         D/F#         G
Your pain, too, it will pass

G                      C          Em           D/F#            G
The love you gave will never fade; I’d like to think that it can’t.
Em      D/F#           G
So I’ll leave you with that
G                       C          Em           D/F#           G
They say that life will find a way; I’d like to think that it has
G                       C          Em           D/F#           G
They say that life will find a way; I’d like to think that it has

Em          D/F#           G
I’d like to think that it has
Em    D/F#         G
Now I see that it has
Em
Now I see

[Outro]
G      C       D       G          C       Bm7
G      C       D       Em         D       G
