[Verse]
What have I Cmdone with life, I close my eyes, and now I Ebsay I can't see
Because of the Bbtears that fall, I built the walls and now unfAbortunately
Well, I try to Cmtalk to you and I can't break through and it's Ebkilling me
Well, I feel Bblost inside the sAbpace between
So I'm Cmdone making excuses for misEbtakes I've made
For so Bblong now I have found the way to Abpass the blame
Oh, I Cmknow you will forgive me if I Ebturn away
From this Bblife of shame you have Abmade a way
[Chorus]
I'm taking Cmlife, I'm getting Ebolder
I won't back Bbdown, I'm getting Abcloser
I'm taking Cmlife, I'm far from Ebover
It's not the Bbend, this is not Cmthe Abend
[Verse]
So many Cmyears I've wasted selfishly, embraced the Ebnatural things
And I thought that BbI was fine as long as I didn't Abbring someone pain
But now I've beCmgun to see your plan for me, it's so much Ebmore than this game
Father Bbcover me, just Ablike the rain
[Chorus]
I'm taking Cmlife, I'm getting Ebolder
I won't back Bbdown, I'm getting Abcloser
I'm taking Cmlife, I'm far from Ebover
It's not the Bbend, this is not the Abend
[Bridge]
 FmMy eyes are open and my Cmpath is straight
 BbYou moved the mountain so there's nothing in my Fmway
 Your love is boundless and forCmever stays the sBbame
Cm-Bb-Fm-           Ab  Ab  
 I am on my way, I am on my way
[Chorus]
I'm taking Cmlife, I'm getting Ebolder
I won't back Bbdown, I'm getting Abcloser
I'm taking Cmlife, I'm far from Ebover
It's not the Bbend, this is not the Abend
I don't wanna waste my life, oh oh!
[Chorus]
I'm taking Cmlife, I'm getting Ebolder
I won't back Bbdown, I'm getting Abcloser
I'm taking Cmlife, I'm far from Ebover
