Am       F
 If only you
          C                              C/B   Am
you could see the darkest place that you could be
         F                C     C/B  Am
or maybe then you'd understand
       F               C
desert heat to cobbled streets
                        C/B  Am
from broken home to the city beat
                F                   C
there's so much more than you could know
[Chorus]
           Am    F
So take me back
         C
when I believed
          Am        F                C
Back when I was unafraid just like a thief
        Am     F
All the heights
             C
that I could reach
          Am        F                C    C/B
Back when I was unafraid just like a thief
[Verse]
Am          F               C
 If I could live a thousand times
                 C/B     Am
If I could make a thousand tries
      F                    C    C/B  Am
Maybe then I'd get it right
           F              C
The more I see the more I know
                   C/B     Am
That everyone just wants to show
            F                    C
No we don't want to see the truth
[Chorus] 
           Am    F
So take me back
         C
when I believed
          Am        F                C
Back when I was unafraid just like a thief
        Am     F
All the heights
             C
that I could reach
          Am        F                C
Back when I was unafraid just like a thief
