I saw that someone wanted this one so here is my best shot at it...
Dm7 F/Eb Eb Bb F/A Eb
Eb/F
1. One hand reaches out and pulls a lost soul from harm,
F F/G Gm Ebmaj9
while a thousand more go unspoken for.
Bb Ab
And they say what good have you done by saving just this one?
Fsus F Fsus F
it's like whispering a prayer in the fury of a storm.
Ebmaj9 Bb
C. And I hear them saying, You'll never change things,
F7 Eb/Bb Bb
and no matter what you do, it still the same thing.
Ebmaj9 Gm Eb
But it's not the world that I am changing,
Bb Eb/F F7 Eb/Bb
Bb Eb/Bb Bb
I do this so this world will know that it will not change me.
2. This heart still believes that love and mercy still exist.
While all the hatreds rage and so many say
that love is all but pointless in madness such as this
it's like trying to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss
(repeat C)
Bridge:
Ab
As long as one heart still holds on
