[Verse]
                   G
I remember way back when

             D
I felt only ennui

                       A
Like nothing could complete me

                    G
No promise of a rising sun

                D
Illuminating everyone

                  A
The very thought defeated

                   G
My life was a blinded light

                              D
Must be what it's like when worlds collide

                     A
Especially when he sees her
Pretty soon he'll tease her
                   G
I was on the road too long

                   D
My laboured lover only song

                  A
Not one of them a keeper

G
But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone

Bm
I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

                  D                   A
But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?

G
I once built a bower, I could build you a home

Bm
Together forever but forever and on

                  D                       A
Is still not long enough, still not long enough

                          G
You look confused in your eyes

                      D
And I could see myself as a child

                   A
Such a devastating feeling
Em A
                        G
I wished I could go back in time

                       D
But all I could do was apologize

                          A
Right then your eyes were healing

         Dm    A
Healing

G
Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone

Bm
I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

                D                   A
But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?

G
I once built a bower, I could build you a home

Bm
Together forever but forever and on

                  D                      A
Is still not long enough, still not long enough

               G                  D
Oh, I've been Cain but I wanna be Abel

                A         D            G
Been a drunken fool but I wanted to be stable enough

                         D
To lay every one of my cards onto the table

A
Hope it's not too late for us to find a way too

G
If I woke in the morning to find you were gone

Bm
I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

                D                   A
But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?

G
I once built a bower, I could build you a home

Bm
Together forever but forever and on

                    D                         A
Is still not long enough, it's still not long enough

G
I went looking inside myself for a home

Bm
Find only a sapling in search of an oak

                   D                         A
But it's a start my love, oh it's a start my love

                G
But am I strong enough?
