I`ve been out walking for hours. I`ve got something on my mind.
How did we get here? Where are we going?
And why is life so hard?

Part of bars 2 and 3 od the intro are repeated here, you can hear it clearly :)

[Em]I read the stories, see the[Dadd4] photographs.[C]
World`s in a[Dadd4] crazy [Em]space.
[Em]I`ve got to hold on[C] to [Dadd4]my dreams.[C][Dadd4]
There`s just no[C] other place.[Dadd4]
There`s just no[C] other place.[Dadd4]

[G] I believe [D] we can change [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4] [Cadd9] an[G]ything.

I believe [Em7] [Csus2] [D] we can [Dsus4]rise [Cadd9] above [G] it.

[G] I believe [D] [Dsus4] [D] there`s a rea[Dsus4]son for [Cadd9] everyt[G]hing.

I believe [Em7] [Csus2] [D] [Dsus4]in [Cadd9] my dr[G]eam.

I`ve tried to match the words to the place where the chords are played to give
a rough idea of where Joe plays them. But you can get it best if you play it!

Other choruses

3.
I`ve seen the shadows of the living.
I`ve seen them turn and walk away.
And I keep searching for the right words.
To send these thoughts away.

4.
There`s a picture I like to look at.
A picture of a beautiful face.
And I see something in her eyes.
Sends me to a better place.
Send sme to a better place.


Thats as much as you need to play until the second solo for now. If you want the
second solo then let me know and I can add it :-) Have fun!
