Feel ing my (G)way through the (D)dark ness,

guid ed (G)by a beat ing (D)heart.

I can’t (G)tell where the (D)jour ney will (D)end,

They tell me (G)I’m too (D)young to un der (D)stand.

They say I’m (G)caught up in a (D)dream.

Well, life will (G)pass me by if (D)I don’t o pen (D)up my eyes.

All this (Bm)time I was (G)find ing my (D)self and I
