VERSE I

C#m E

You can say goodbye,

To all the things that you have ever known.

C#m E

You can say goodbye,

And leave behind the life that you have grown.

C#m E

What's the point,

You try to start from scratch,

but get let down,

C#m E

You can say goodbye,

B A

Just to realise there's no-one left around.

C#m B

So what am I fighting for

CHORUS

Tell me

Is there anybody out there,

Am I swimming through this empty sea alone,

C#m

Am I looking for an answer

A B

Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.

Is there anybody out there,

Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,

C#m

I'm looking for an answer

A B

And just trying to find a way to survive.

VERSE II

C#m E

You can live or die,

Without the chance to find out what your worth,

C#m E

You can live or die,

And never find the one that she'd deserve,

C#m E

You can walk alone,

And live behind the shadows in your heart,

C#m E

You can say goodbye

B A

Or live and find out you've been alone right from the start

C#m B

So what am I fighting for

CHORUS

Tell me

Is there anybody out there,

Am I swimming through this empty sea alone,

C#m

Am I looking for an answer

A B

Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.

Is there anybody out there,

Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,

C#m

I'm looking for an answer

A B C#m B C#m

And just trying to find a way to survive.

BRIDGE

A C#m B

Never thought I would end up all alone, (All alone, all alone..)

A C#m B

Every day I am feeling further away from home,

F#m

I can't catch my breath,

A B

But I am holding on

CHORUS

Is there anybody out there,

is this the last time I have to say goodbye,

C#m

Am I staring at my future,

A B

Is it time to take charge of my life,

Is there anybody out there

Am I swimming through this empty sea alone,

C#m

Am I looking for an answer,

A B

or am I trying to find a way to get back home,

Is there anybody out there,

Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,

C#m

I am looking for an answer,

A F#m

And just trying to find a way to survive,

A B

A way to survive,

And I am holding on

End on
