Verse 1:
I'm a bDmrand new man, I'm a conscFious man
I'm a Bbman who's burnin' Amfor you

to the Bbbottom of the oceAman blue
I'm a bDmrand new man in a foFreign land, 
I'm a Bbman who's feelin' Amthat fire
And it'Dms all so clear when I'm stFanding here

Woke up Dmin a sweat, Fthose ghosts in my head
Had a gBbrip, but I slipped on Amby
It's a Dmwhole new day as the Fdarkness fades
And the Bbsun's climbing in the Amsky

And it'Dms only you, no substFitutes

No morBbe shortness of brAmeath, new pace
Live liDmfe now without the tasFte of fear
