VERSE 1

Where will you go

when your wandering lust has left you

and all you've known in life

C D

are travelling troubadors?

Where will you fall

when your legs lose their courage?

You can't bear the thought

D G

of another long and winding road

What'll you do

when you've got to say you're sorry

but it's so hard

C D

and you don't know where to begin?

How will you feel

when you're lying on the train tracks

and you don't know if what you hear

D G

is a whistle or the wind?

PRE-CHORUS

All the prayers we light

asking for another shot at life

all the lines we crossed

fighting for a long lost cause

CHORUS

But I'll never apologise

for secrets hidden in my eyes

praying for a desperate muse

Am D

fighting for the ones who'll never

make it through

VERSE 2-

Think real hard

are you happy with your memories?

G C D

Satisfied with who you know yourself to be?

Who do you see

when you gaze at your reflection?

G D G

Are you seeing who you really want to see?

PRE-CHORUS

All the prayers we light

asking for another shot at life

all the lines we crossed

fighting for a long lost cause

CHORUS

But I'll never apologise

for secrets hidden in my eyes

praying for a desperate muse

Am D

fighting for the ones who'll never

make it through

VERSE 3-

Who will save you

when you're lying in the gutter?

G C D

The only hymns you know are songs on the radio.

Who'll you think of

when you're wide awake at midnight

G D G

and all you've ever learned from life was how to live alone?

PRE-CHORUS

All the prayers we light

asking for another shot at life

all the lines we crossed

fighting for a long lost cause

CHORUS

But I'll never apologise

for secrets hidden in my eyes

praying for a desperate muse

Am D

fighting for the ones who'll never

make it through
