             C#m                 Asus2
Living on my own, thinking for myself
                E               Bsus4
Castles in the sand, temporary wealth
                      C#m
The walls are falling down,
                     Asus2
the storms are closing in
                          E                Bsus4
And tears have filled my eyes, here I am again

         C#m         Asus2     E   Bsus4
And I've held out as long as I can
         C#m           Asus2           E  Bsus4
Now I'm letting go and holding out my hand

Chorus:
C#m               Asus2
Daddy, here I am again
          E              Bsus4
Will You take me back tonight
C#m                          Asus2
I went and made the world my friend
        E               Bsus4
And it left me high and dry
  Asus2                 C#m
I drag Your name back through the mud
     Bsus4             F#m
That You first found me in
    Asus2         C#m
Not worthy to be called Your son
   Bsus4         F#m
Is this to be my end
              C#m Asus2
Daddy, here I am
     E    Bsus4
Here I am again

Curse this morning sun, drags me in to one more day
Of reaping what I've sown, of living with my shame
Welcome to my world, and the life that I have made
Where one day you're a prince,
the next day you're a slave

And I've held out as long as I can
Now I'm letting go and holding out my hand

Chorus

And I've held out as long as I can
Now I'm letting go and holding out my hand

Chorus
