Instrumental Introduction Bb F/A Gm Fsus4 F X2 [Verse 1]
    Bb               Gm
The paths I walk are worn and grey.

      Eb              Fsus4     F
I’m alone by night, ignored by day.

       Bb                 Cm
But as light shines far beyond the dark.

   Eb/G                     F
Perhaps it’s time for me to make my mark.

   Bb                Gm
It might be nothing, just a dream.

   Eb                Fsus4  F
Or maybe bigger than it may seem.

    Bb              Cm
Yet still I feel it burn for me.

  Eb/G            Fsus4    F
A sign of who I’m meant to be.
[Pre-Chorus]
    Cm                Fsus4    F             Eb           Fsus4 F
The pain of what I’ve passed endured fuels a fire I can’t forget.

      Cm              Fsus4              Gm               Fsus4 F
Maybe it’s my turn to find the light and repay the kingdoms debt.
[Chorus 1]
Eb           F               Bb/D              Gm
I don’t know what this is or where it hides or why it lives.

    Eb                   F          Cm                 Fsus4     Eb Bb
But somewhere past this heavy pain, a legend waits for me to claim.

     Eb              F                  Bb/D             Gm
It’s in a world I’ve never known: where I’m not small or lost or alone.

      Eb             F             Cm              Fsus4  Eb  Bb
So whoever’s calling here my plea: lead me to that shining sea.
[Verse 2]
Bb          Gm                       Eb                  Fsus4  F
How could I ever outrun my past when dreamers still have yet to last?

Bb                   Gm             Eb               Fsus4 F
Just try to bury and learn to take. Be a wall no one can break!

    Gm                     Bb         Eb       Fsus4 F
But what if this quest is saying go before I’m ready?
Instrumental Interlude: Eb F Bb/D Gm Eb F Cm Fsus4 Eb Bb [Vamp as needed] [Bridge]
Cm                     Gm
I’m done with waiting. Done with doubt.

Eb                Fsus4
Done being quiet, watching out.

   Cm                F              D/F#           Gm
If no one knows what I can be, then I’ll unlock my destiny!

     Gm                           Bbsus4 Bb
I’ll break the chains the held me down!

     Gm                        Ebsus4 Eb
I’ll reach beyond this weary town!

    Fsus4            F
And find the fire in me.
[Chorus 2]
E               F#            B/Eb               Abm
I will find out what this is! Where it hides, my key to live!

E              F#                  C#m              F#sus4    F
I’ll let go, release my pain, this legend I’ve been called to gain!

E                    F#                B/Eb             Abm
It’s in a world I’ve never known where I’m not small or lost or alone!

E                    F#               C#m            F#sus4 F#
So whoever’s calling wait for me! I’m coming to that shining sea!
