And the (Db)road a head, I can’t walk a lone.

They’re all (Absus4)leav ing me,

I was (Ebm)fool ish, reck less, and (Gb)blind,

I should (Fm)turn back while there’s still (Ab)time.

Oh, boo hoo,

no one wants to play with me, and my wife has (C#m6)left me.

Oh, woe is me.

Woe is me… (C#m)Pah!

Who are you?

I am your dark er side, the one you keep in (G#)shad ows, pre fer to hide.

(A)Deep in your heart you (C#m)can’t de ny (F#m)all of your fears keep (C#m)me a live, (A)wait ing here for you (C#m)to ar rive.

(F#m)Don’t choose to live by the (G#)book let’s live by the (C#m)hook.

Cap tain James Hook,

at your ser vice.

Play wright, James Bar rie.

I know But I don’t un der stand where you came from!
