1.     This time yesterday, I thought I was gonna die,

                             G                              D

    standing at the edge of my ordinary life.

                                        G                                         D

    Now I'm looking far ahead, I only see clear blue skies,

                                  G                                     A

    I hope this feeling lasts, until the end of the time.

A                                                                                      G

    Now I don't see the things that bring me down, like I used to, no.

A                                                                          G

    There were times I felt like giving up, but we came through !

 

 D    A  D                              A

All this time, we've come a long, long way,

                 G                                                      A

I waited a life time for today, I'm praying this moment's here to stay.

D       - A         D                                A

    All        this time, when everyone else said I was wrong,

                           G                                                         A

you gave me a reason to be strong, you gave me the will to carry on.

D       - A         D

    All        this time !

 

   D                                   G                                 D

2.    I smile my moods away, yesterday's far behind,

                                                G                              D

    and all these clouds have died, a crater on my mind.

                                G                                                 D

    I’m looking far ahead, I'm looking with brand new eyes,

                                     G                                             A

    well, I can't see the future, but I know it's looking bright.

A                                                                        G

    Never thought we could survive, but we've come through, no.

A                                                                              G

    There were times we felt like giving up, but we held through.

+  It's like a second chance at life,

                                             A

    so many people passing by, and you know it's a shame.

                          G                                                                        A

    'Cause they can't believe, so they don't and they won't even try,

                                                    D                                             G

    with every battle that's been won, with every little thing I've done.

                                                A

    But I couldn't see, it's not clear to me.
