Standard (EADGBE)

I took my first step

On that black and white kitchen floor

I sometimes wonder if that house is even there anymore

I had my first glimpse

Of love when I was five

I watched two people split apart

But still the three of us survived

I’ve seen the best

I’ve seen the worst

I wouldn’t change what I’ve been through

I’ve touched the sky

I’ve hit the wall

 But I did what I had to

Chorus

 On my way here

 Where I am now

 I’ve learned to fly

 I have to want to leave the ground

 I’ve fallen hard but I’ve been loved

 And in the end it all works out

My faith has conquered fear

On my way here

Oh yeah, yeah

My address has changed

Almost every year

I’ve found that standing still

Can quickly make a lifetime disappear

I’d rather try and fail

A thousand times denied

And this, whenever you feel pain

It lets you know you’re alive

I’ve been a fool

I’ve been afraid

Yeah, I’ve been loved

I’ve been lied to

I’ve been wrong

And I’ve been right

I stood up when I had to

Chorus

No guarantees

 I believed that I would find

An open door or a light

To lead me to the other side

 I guess that is why

Chorus
