[C#] [B]
[G#m] Every night I [F#] say a prayer [D#m] In the [B] hopes that [C#] there's a heaven
[F#] But [G#m] every day [C#] I'm more [F#] confused [D#m] As the saints [B] turn [C#] in cursing us
All the [D] heroes and [F#] legends I knew [C] as a child [B] Have fallen [F#] to idols away
[C#] [F#] And I feel [G#m] this empty [D#m] place inside [B] So afraid that I've [C#] lost my faith
Show [F#] me the way, [B] show [F#] me the way
[B] Take [F#] me tonight
[C#] To the river [D#m] and wash [C#] my illusions [G#m] away
[C#] Please show [F#] me the [B] way
[C#] [B] [F#] [B]
[C#] [F#] And as [G#m] I [C#] slowly [F#] drift to sleep [D#m] For a [B] moment, [C#] dreams are sacred
[F#] I [G#m] close my [C#] eyes and [F#] know there's peace [D#m] In a [B] world so [C#] filled with hatred
[D#m] Then I wake [D] up each morning [F#] And turn [C] on the news
[B] Find [A#m] we've so [C#] far to go [F#] And I keep [G#m] hoping [C#]
for [D#m] a sign
[B] So afraid I just [C#] won't know
[F#] Show me, [B]
show [F#] me [B]
Bring [F#] me tonight
[C#] To the muffin [D#m] and take [C#] my [G#m] confusion away
[C#] And [F#] show me
[B] [A#] if I see your light Should [D#m] I believe?
[C#] [B] Tell [D#m] me how [G#m] will I [C#]
[A]
[B] [A] know?
