The [A] light of day [C#m] is fading to [D] let the darkness [A] in
[D] When empty smiles [A] can never hide [E] the wholeness within
My [A] thoughts race by [C#m] like the scene outside [D] through the windows of the [A] train
I [D] could cover my eyes [A] but never hide [E]
promises I made
[D] And if I was [E] a better guy [C#m] I'd prefer an hurricane
[F#m] But [D] I have no strength [E] to start again, I [C#m] want to find the call to [F#m] me
[D] Somewhere out there [E] waiting is [C#m] a place where I'm bound [F#m] to be
[D] Calling out and [E] begging, maybe [A] I could have a change
The station long [C#m] departed, I've [D] been entrusted to the [A] rails
[D] No use in a [A] destination, [E] except the life I hoped to make
[A] But whatever choice [C#m] presented, I [D] could not quench or [A] bequeath
[D] The walls I built [A] around the truth, [E] I closely [E] covered with them
[D] And if I was [E] a better man, [C#m] I'd prefer an [F#m] hurricane
[D] But I have no strength [E] to start again, I [C#m] want to find the call to [F#m] me
[D] Somewhere out there [E] waiting [C#m] is a place where I'm [F#m] of these
[D] Calling out and [E] begging, maybe [A] I could have a change
Give me your [C#m] hand, [D] take your place here next [A] to me
Let us walk this road [D] together, no matter where [A] it leads
Put aside your burdens, [C#m] [D] put away [A] your fears
Or I'll carry them [F#m] as I'd carry you [D] until the very [A] end
Somewhere out there [C#m] waiting [D] is a place where we'd know [A] peace
That calls to us, [F#m] that beckons us, [D] a place where we'd [A] be free
Put aside your [C#m] burdens, [D] put away [A] your fears
Or I'd carry them as [F#m] I'd carry [D] you until the very end
