G D
Can anybody tell me why
Em
We're lying here on the floor

And neither of us can barely breathe at all

The doctors saying hold on tight

As we say our last goodbyes

And this is, a moment that
G D
changes our whole lives
[Refrão]

And I still believe in the good

And I still believe in the light

And I wanna feel the sun
G
I wanna free you tonight

And I still believe in the good

And I still believe in the light

And I wanna feel the sun
G
I wanna free you tonight
{verse 2}
I'm staring deep into your eyes
They're telling me the time has come
And I know you're ready to rise and sail home
The room is filling up with light
As we say our last goodnight
I thank you for every second of your life
[Refrão]
Am
And I'm falling,
C
Watching as you're hurting
G
I'm down here I'm on my knees
D
How can I survive?
Am C
And you turn to me and promise me you're ready
G D
And tell me you'll be waiting on the other side
