D
Now I've found a space between

And in here I still believe
G
That the path we walked is still

Right here if I find the will

I've chased the greater good

And I've always understood

When I take my final stand
D
I will proudly face the end

Again now you're gone

And throw 'em all away

I've tried and I always will
G
I'm lost until I see this place
D
It speaks words that I can't erase

They have all that I had to take
G
But it can't change the way I feel
D
Cause I know what I seek is real
