[C]I s[Csus2]ee the wo[C]rld, through e[Csus2]yes of desperat[Am]ion[Asus2]

[Am]Never knew how l[Asus2]ong I'd f[Am]all[Asus2]

[C]But[Csus2] I fell, [C]through years [Csus2]and years of da[Am]rkn[Asus2]ess

[Am]Still I cannot s[Asus2]eem to hi[Am]t the ground[G]


[G]I let my g[Am]uard down, and you caught me by surp[F]rise

Nothing is [G]ever carved in stone


[C]Will I [Csus2]spend [C]my li[Am]fe

[Asus2]Wonder[Am]ing[Em]

[Em-D]What could ha[Em]ve bee[G]n, and throw it away

[C]Or will I s[Csus2]truggl[C]e o[Am]n

And [Asus2]find a b[Am]etter [Em]path[Em-D] for [Em]mysel[G]f


[C]I b[Csus2]uilt my l[C]ife, upon deca[Csus2]des of experien[Am]ce[Asus2]

[Am]What I built for years took[Asus2] days for y[Am]ou to raze

[C]In the e[Csus2]nd I learned that o[C]ne single sn[Am]owf[Asus2]lake

[Am]Can set an [G]avalanche in motion

[Am]Some questions are d[F]angerous, the truth is not an optio[C]n

This is the i[G]llusion I pulled down over your eyes

B[Am]ut I let my gu[F]ard down, and you caught me by su[C]rprise

Nothing is [G]ever carved in stone


[C]Will I [Csus2]spend [C]my li[Am]fe

[Asus2]Wonder[Am]ing[Em]

[Em-D]What could ha[Em]ve bee[G]n, and throw it away

[C]Or will I s[Csus2]truggl[C]e o[Am]n

And [Asus2]find a b[Am]etter [Em]path[Em-D] for [Em]mysel[G]f


For myself[F]

I se[C]cure my every st[G]ep
Slowly I advance away from y[F]ou
How can I for[C]give you
When it w[G]asn't your fault


(One strum per chord)
[C]Will I spend my lif[Am]e

Wonderin[Em]g

What could have b[G]een...


(normal strumming)
[C]Will I [Csus2]spend [C]my li[Am]fe

[Asus2]Wonder[Am]ing[Em]

[Em-D]What could ha[Em]ve bee[G]n, and throw it away

[C]Or will I s[Csus2]truggl[C]e o[Am]n

And [Asus2]find a b[Am]etter [Em]path[Em-D] for [Em]mysel[G]f

[C]Will I [Csus2]spend [C]my li[Am]fe

[Asus2]Wonder[Am]ing[Em]

[Em-D]What could ha[Em]ve bee[G]n, and throw it away

[F]Or will I struggle o[C]n

And find a better me[G]aning for myself[C]
