D A
Never wanted anything as much as you
E
Never crossed my mind that I could ever lose
F#m
I had this picture in my head
E D
Of all the promises you made
A
But you turned ′em into dust
E
Empty-handed now I′m lost
F#m
I know I gotta let go
E
With no regrets you′re already gone
D Bm
(Oh) I let my dreams tie me down
C#m F#m
(Oh) Is it too late can I break out?
D Bm C#
(Oh) They say it′s darkest of all before the dawn
D
I wanna be myself (I don′t care)
A
Yeah I gotta be myself (Just don′t care)
C#m
And now that your weight′s come off my shoulders
E
I realize that I can fly
D
I needed to find me (Now I know)
A
The key was inside of me all along
C#m
I′m listening to my heart, let it guide me
F#m E
I feel the light, I feel the light
D
I never stopped (to find my way)
A
I always thought (it was a race)
E
To win it all and that you were the prize
F#m
The closer I got the more I lost
E
My soul, it was slowly fading
D
I′m like the autumn leaves, don′t know which way I′m blowing
A
But it don′t matter if it′s raining or it′s snowing
E C#m
All of my problems growing smaller when I′m way up here
F#m E
Any illusions I had left about you disappeared
D Bm
(Oh) This is the end of the road
C#m F#m
(Oh) I′m holding out for a new hope
D Bm C#
(Oh) ′cause it′s the darkest of all before the dawn
D
I wanna be myself (I don′t care)
A
Yeah I gotta be myself (Just don′t care)
C#m
And now that your weight′s come off my shoulders
E
I realize that I can fly
D
I needed to find me (Now I know)
A
The key was inside of me all along
C#m
I′m listening to my heart, let it guide me
F#m E
I feel the light, I feel the light
D
Afraid to let you go
A E
but in my heart I know
F#m
Got to move on
C#m D
I think it′s time
It′s all good now
D
I wanna be myself (I don′t care)
A
Yeah I gotta be myself (just don′t care)
C#m
And now that I left it all behind me
F#m E
I′m flying high, I′m flying high
