Lyrics

Who is he, who is he with his “Mar ry me,” with his ring and his “Mar ry me”?

The nerve, the (Dm13)gall.

This is not, not what was meant to be.

How could he ru in it all with those two (Dm13)words?

I thought I knew him, thought that (Eb)he knew me.

When did it (Db)change, what did I (Eb)miss?

A kiss?

When I thought (Gb)all a long

that (Gb)we were (Gb)meant to forge (Gb)fron tiers.

How could (Gb)I be (Gb)so (Dm9)wrong?

And I need, how I (C#6)need my (B)sis ters here.

If (C#6)I can’t (B)share my dreams, what were they (Dm11)for?

I thought our prom ise meant that (Eb)we would nev er (Db)change and

nev er (Eb)part.

I thought to geth er we’d a (Gb)maze the world!

How can I (Gb)live my (Gb)dreams or e (Gb)ven start when ev (Gb)’ry thing (Gb)has (Dsus2)come a (Bsus2)part?

I thought (B)home

was all I’d (A)ev er want,

my (E)at tic all I’d ev er (B)need.

Now (B)noth ing feels the way it (F#m11)was be fore

and (E)I don’t know how to pro (G#m)ceed.

I (F#)on ly know I’m (E)meant for some thing (D#m)more.

I've got to know if I can (F#sus4)be

a (Ab)ston ish ing.

(Gb)There’s a (B)life

that I am (A69)meant to lead,

a (E69)live like noth ing I have (B)known.

I (Em6)can (B)feel it

and it’s (A69)far from here.

I’ve (E69)got to find it on my (G#)own.

(F#)E ven now I feel its (D#m7)heat up on my (G#)skin: a life of (C#)pas sion

that (B)pulls me from with (D#)in.

A (F#)life that (G#m)I am (F#)ach ing to be (D#m7)gin.

There must be some where I can (F#sus4)be

a (Ab)ston ish ing.

A (Ab)ston ish ing.

I’ll (Fb)find

my (Abmaj9)way,

I’ll (Db69)find it far a (Abmaj9)way.

I’ll find it (Eb)in the (Db)un ex (Cm7)pect ed and un (Fm7)known.

I’ll find my (Cm7)life in my own (Fb)way

to (Db6)day.

Here I (Ab)go

and there’s no (Ab)turn ing back.

My (Fm7)great ad (Ab)ven ture has be (Ab)gun.
