F#m         E   F#m
I will dedicate and
             E    D
sacrifice my every-thing
     E             D
For just a seconds worth
            E
of how my story's ending
F#m                  E
And I wish I could know
F#m                 E     D
if the directions that I take
              E             D
And all the choices that I make
             E
won't end up all for nothing

Chorus:
F#m    D C#m  A         E
 Show me     what it's for
F#m    D C#m  A         E
 Make me     understand it
D           E              D
I've been crawling in the dark
         E
Looking for the answer
F#m   D   C#m  A         E
 Is there     something more
F#m    D  C#m A          E
 Than what    I've been handed?
D        E                 D
I've been crawling in the dark
         E
Looking for the answer

Help me carry on,
assure me it's OK to
Use my heart and not my eyes
to navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever
coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see
the ending to my story?

Chorus

D
How much further
      E       F#m
do I have to go? (have to go)
D
How much longer until I
E/G#      A
finally know? (finally know)
D                         E
Cause I'm looking and I just
      F#m             D
can't see what's in front of me
     E
In front of me

Chorus
