Here I am

So here I am

Some days our reach is bound

To far exceed our grasp

I gave up hoping long ago I could fix the past

C
Here I am

     F
In a million years

You would never know if I told you so

      F                C
'Bout these million tears

Dm7
Life doesn't wait as it's speeding by

       F
Better grab on fast to hold on tight

    G               C      Em              F    G
And don't let it forget to fight this good fight

Here I am

Here I am

     C     F
Here I am
