Lyrics

Ev ’ry where I turn, I (G)hurt some one,

but there’s (D)noth ing I can say to change the (Em7)things I’ve done.

Of (G)all the things I hid from you, I (Bm7)can not hide the shame, and I (G)pray some one, some thing will come to (Asus)take a (A)way the (Asus)pain.

There’s no way out of this dark place.

No hope, no fu (G)ture.

I know I (A)can’t be free,

but (Bm7)I can’t see an (C)oth er way,

and (Em7)I can’t (Bm7)face an (C)oth er day.

Tell me, where I turn, did (G)I go wrong?

but there’s (D)Ev ’ry one I loved, to change the (Em7)they’re all gone.

I’d (G)ev ’ry thing so dif f’rent ly, but (Bm7)can’t turn back the time.

There’s no (G)shel ter from the storm in side of (Asus)me.

a (A)way the (Asus)Oh.

There’s no way out of this dark place.

No hope, no fu (G)ture.

I know I (A)can’t be free,

but (Bm7)I can’t see an (C)oth er way,

and (Em7)I can’t (Bm7)face an (C)oth er day.

Can’t be lieve the (C)words I hear.

It’s like an (Dm)an swer to a prayer; when I (Bb)look a round I see

this place, this time, this friend of mine.

I know it’s hard, but you (Bb7sus)found some how

to (Eb)look in to your heart and to for (Fm7)give me now.

You’ve (Ab)giv en me the strength to see just (Cm7)where my jour ney ends.

You’ve (Ab)giv en me the strength to car ry (Bbsus)on.

Oh,

I see the path from this dark place.

I see my fu (Ab)ture.

Ooh, your for (Fm7)give ness has (Bb)set me free.

Oh, and (Cm7)I can see an (Db)oth er way.

(Cm7)I can face an (Db)oth er day,

yeah.

(I see the path,

I see the fu (Ab)ture.

I see the path from this dark place, I see my fu (Ab)ture.)
