[Intro]
AbMhhh (x4)
[Verse 1]
AbYou wake up with your eyes shut
And you liFmft up from the cries low
Never kEbnown how much they mean
Every pFmrophecy they bring
It's like your hEbeart already knows
This is Dbwhere your father's been
And Ebwhere you're gonna go
[Verse 2]
AbBreathe deep every new day
Let the sFmun rise, let the light stay
For the Ebrain will never stop
If you're cFmhasing every drop
No, you don't Ebhave to go alone
This is Dbwhere your father's been
And Ebwhere you're gonna go
[Interlude]
AbMhhh (x2)
[Chorus]
AbDream boy, go and wander
Fill your hFmeart with fire and thunder
Passion lEbeads a man to love
But that aFmlone is not enough
You've Abgotta lay your body low
'Cause if you lDbove something enough, you Ablearn to let it Ebgo
Ab(Oh-oh, Fmoh-oh) You've gotta Eblay your body low
Yes, if you lDbove something enough you Eblearn to let it go
[Bridge]
    Bbm       DbAnd when you're Gbafraid (and when you're afraid)
     BbmThat this rDboad has led you Gbaway (has led you Abaway)
Let love Bbmfind you (let love fDbind you)
Let love Gbbind you up (let love Ebmbind you), oh
Let love Gbguide you (let love gDbuide you)
And rGbemind your soul (and remiFmnd your soul)

DbOh-oh
BbmOh-oh
[Verse 3]
And tAbhen the pain is true
And your Bbmstrength is falling through
Whatever Abshadow that you've held
This is Gbwhere your father's been
And Abwhere you're gonna go
    DbOh, I wish I could take it away
    BbmEvery moment that your heart will break
Just don't forAbget the truth you know
Remember Gbwho your father is
And Abwhere we're gonna go
[Verse 4]
     DbEvery new day (and now you're looing for a light to guide you)
     BbmEvery step that you take (a fire's burning buried deep inside you)
     AbEvery sunrise (and when you're searching for a voice to find you)
     GbEvery dream that Abyou make (be still and listen to the song that binds you)
Every new Dbday (and now you're looking for a light to guide you)
Every hearBbmtbreak (a fire's burning buried deep inside you)
Every suAbnrise and sunset (and when you're searching for a voice to find you)
AbIn this day, in this day
This is Gbwhere your father's been (be still and listen to the song that binds you)
And Abwhere I'm gonna go
[Outro]
    DbAnd now you're looking for a light to guide you

A fire's burning buried deep inside you
N.C.
And when you're searching for a voice to find you
N.C.
Be still and listen to the song that binds you

[Intro]

Mhhh (x4)

[Verse 1]

You wake up with your eyes shut

And you lift up from the cries low

Never known how much they mean

Every prophecy they bring

It's like your heart already knows

This is where your father's been

And where you're gonna go

[Verse 2]

Breathe deep every new day

Let the sun rise, let the light stay

For the rain will never stop

If you're chasing every drop

No, you don't have to go alone

This is where your father's been

And where you're gonna go

[Interlude]

Mhhh (x2)

[Chorus]

Dream boy, go and wander

Fill your heart with fire and thunder

But that alone is not enough

You've gotta lay your body low

And then the pain is true

And your strength is falling through

Whatever shadow that you've held

This is where your father's been

And where you're gonna go

Oh, I wish I could take it away

Bbm

Every moment that your heart will break

Just don't forget the truth you know

Remember who your father is

And where we're gonna go

[Verse 4]

Every new day (and now you're looing for a light to guide you)

Bbm

Every step that you take (a fire's burning buried deep inside you)

Every sunrise (and when you're searching for a voice to find you)

Gb Ab

Every dream that you make (be still and listen to the song that binds you)

Every new day (and now you're looking for a light to guide you)

Bbm

Every heartbreak (a fire's burning buried deep inside you)

Every sunrise and sunset (and when you're searching for a voice to find you)

In this day, in this day

This is where your father's been (be still and listen to the song that binds you)

And where I'm gonna go

[Outro]

And now you're looking for a light to guide you

N.C.

A fire's burning buried deep inside you

N.C.

And when you're searching for a voice to find you

N.C.

Be still and listen to the song that binds you
