[Verse 1]
A#m                F#
Once upon a lonely journey
A#m                    F#
Same as everywhere she’s been
A#m               F#
Just an ordinary, quiet girl
A#m                F#
Scarred by ordinary men
       C#    B
So she tries every single day
   F#          F#m
To wish upon a million miles away
    C#               B
And dreams that the life she’s meant for
   F#                 F#m
Is maybe not so far away...

[Verse 2]
A#m                  F#
In the shadow of his father
A#m                         F#
Wearing blood that’s not his own
A#m                     F#
Has he squandered his inheritance
A#m                   F#
For the only life he’s known?

      C#    B
So he tries every single day
   F#          F#m
To wish upon a million miles away
    C#              B
And prays that the life he’s meant for
   F#                 F#m
Is maybe not so far away...

[Verse 3]
A#m                          F#
Shame so overwhelming like a river
A#m                               F#
Raging with its death so deep and wide
A#m                      F#       G#        D#
Legend of a promise to deliver to the other side
A#m                                F#
Standing at the edge, they heard a calling
     A#m                                     F#
Deep down they always knew there’s something more
A#m                              F#            G# D#
One to pay the toll and get them safely to the sho-re

[Verse 4]
        A#m             F#
So they ran and jumped onboard
       C#                 G#            A#m
And at once their great adventure had begun
F#             G#
Following that burning call
           A#m
Don’t look back!
      F#
One by one
            C#            G#                D#m
Threw their bags over the side and followed on
                 F#    G#      A#m
Life as they had known it was gone...

[Interlude]
A#m F# A#m F#

[Pre-chorus]
A#m                      F#
No predestination for an ordinary life
A#m                                  F#
We’re designed to live for something more
A#m                           F#
There’s an invitation waiting patiently outside
 G#       D#
Knocking upon the door

[Chorus]
  D#m
I heard Your voice
F#
Call to me
    A#m                  G#  F
The rest, as they say, is mystery
    F#             A#m     G#        C#     G#
How You knew me before my bones were formed
D#m                 F#
Traced my scars and all my fears
   A#m                  G#        F
To trade in the pain of all these years
      B
For a second chance
  F#            C# G#
A broken life rebo--rn

[Interlude]
A#m F# A#m F#

[Pre-Chorus]
A#m               F#
Shelter from the fallout
A#m                    F#
All the white knights melting away
       A#m               F#
From a lifetime feeling phased out
       G#         D#
To the dawn of a brand new day

[Chorus]
  D#m
I heard Your voice
F#
Call to me
    A#m                  G#  F
The rest, as they say, is mystery
    F#             A#m     G#        C#     G#
How You knew me before my bones were formed
D#m                 F#
Traced my scars and all my fears
   A#m                  G#        F
To trade in the pain of all these years
      B
For a second chance
  F#            C#  G#
A broken life reborn

[Outro]
  D#m
I heard Your voice
F#
Call to me
    A#m                  G#  F
The rest, as they say, is mystery
    F#
Why You chose me
          G#
A broken life
  C#     B
Reborn unto a brand new day
     A#m           A
We’d wished upon a million miles away
   C#            B
To find out that You were waiting
A#m              A   B
Never very far away
   C#      B
So now our story will go on
(You have made us Your sons and daughters)
   A#m            A
We say goodbye to broken hopes we’d dreamed upon
(And You showed us the way for the brokenhearted to finally be made whole)
    C#         B
And sail on to new horizons
(To escape the shame of the things we’ve done)
A#m                  A  B
Life is not so far away
(And the pain of the things done to us)
  C#     B
Reborn unto a brand new day
(And the rest is mystery)
(You have made us Your sons and daughters)
     A#m           A
We’d wished upon a million miles away
(And the rest is mystery)

(And the rest is mystery)
(To escape the shame of the things we’ve done)
A#m                  A  B
Life is not so far away
