[C#] [B]
[F#]
[G#m] Every night [C#] I say [F#] a prayer [D#m] in the hopes [B] that [C#] there's a heaven
[F#] But every [G#m] day [F] I'm [C#] more [F#] confused [D#m] as the saints [B] turn into [D#] sinners
[C#]
All [D#m] the heroes [D] and legends [F#] I knew [C] as a child [B] have fallen [F#] to idols of [C#] play
And I [F#]
feel [G#m] this empty [C#] place [D#m]
inside, so [B] afraid that I've lost [F#] my faith
[C#] Show [F#] me the way, [C#] [B] show [F#] me the way
[B] Take me [F#] tonight [C#] to the river [D#m] and wash my [C#] illusions [G#m] away

[F#] [B] [F#]
[B] [F#] as [G#m] I slowly [C#] drift [F#] to sleep [D#m] for a moment, [B] [F#] dreams I say [C#] prayer
[F#] I close [G#m] my eyes [C#] and warm [F#] his knees, [D#m] the inner world [B] so filled [C#] with a dread
[D#m] Then I wake up [D] each morning [F#] and turn on [C] the news, [B] find [F#] we've so far [C#] to go
[F#] And I keep [G#m] on hoping [C#] for [D#m] a sign, [B] so afraid I just [C#] won't know
Show, [F#] [C#] [B]
show, [F#]
[B] bring me [F#]
tonight to [Fm] the mountain [D#m] and take my [C#]
confusion [G#m] away
