Verse 1
C G/B Am C/G F Em Am C/G
Oh, I’m on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far from here,
F E Am Am/G
All I know is all I feel right now,
D F Am (Riff)
I feel a power growing in my hair
C G/B Am Am/G F Em Am C/G
Sitting on my own, not by my-self, everybody’s here with me,
F E Am Am/G
I don’t need to touch your face to know,
D F Am
And I don’t need to use my eyes to see
Verse 2
Bm E A D
I keep on wondering if I sleep too long,
Bm E A G F Em D
Will I always wake up the same, or so,
A Bm E A D
And keep on wondering if I sleep too long,
Bm E7 A G D F
Will I even wake up a-gain, or some-thing

Verse 3
C G/B Am C/G
Oh, I’m on my way, I know I am,
F Em Am C/G
But times there were when I thought not,
F E Am Am/G
Bleeding half my soul in bad compan-y,
D F Am (Riff)
I thank the moon I had the strength to stop
C G/B Am C/G
Now, I’m not making love to anyone’s wishes,
F Em Am C/G
Only for that light I see,
F E Am Am/G
‘Cause when I’m dead and lowered low in my grave,
D F Am
That’s gonna be the only thing that’s left of me
Verse 4
Bm E A D
And, if I make it to the water-side,
Bm E A G F Em D
Will I even find me a boat, or so...?
A Bm E A D
And, if I make it to the water-side,
Bm E7 A G D F
I’ll be sure to write you a note, or some-thing
Verse 5
C G/B Am C/G F Em Am C/G
Oh, I’m on my way, I know I am, somewhere not so far from here,
F E Am Am/G
All I know is all I feel right now,
D F Am (Riff)
I feel a power growing in my hair
C G/B Am
Oh, life is like a maze of doors,
Am/G F Em Am C/G
And they all open from the side you’re on,
F E
Just keep on pushing hard,
Am Am/G D F D
Boy, try as you may, you’re gonna wind up where you started from,
F
You’re gonna wind up where you started from
