[Verse 1]
C G/B Am F
The day the music died is when I knew my life would never be the same
C G/B Am F C
I thought I would stay a while but like the time I knew things had to change
Am F C
To leave behind an empty room of faded memories I can’t recall
Am F C
Feels like coming back out of a dream when you start to fall

[Chorus]
Am F C
But in the end I know that there’s no turning back from where I want to be
Am F C
I can show you greatness I can show you how to run so follow me
F Am
Even in the darkness light can always shine much brighter than it seems
G F C
Take a leap of faith and get away from the room of broken dreams

[Verse 2]
C G/B Am F
Cross the line into this state of mind that I’ve been held up for so long
C G/B Am F C
Will we come to realize that it’s been us and not the world that’s wrong
Am F C
It’s time to lay down our own greed and try to give out more than what we take
Am F C
Put the shovel down before we dig too deep and fall in our own grave

[Chorus]
Am F C
But in the end I know that there’s no turning back from where I want to be
Am F C
I can show you greatness I can show you how to run so follow me
F Am
Even in the darkness light can always shine much brighter than it seems
G F C
Take a leap of faith and get away from the room of broken dreams

[Solo]
Am F C Am F G F Am G F C

[Chorus]
Am F C
But in the end I know that there’s no turning back from where I want to be
Am F C
I can show you greatness I can show you how to run so follow me
F Am
Even in the darkness light can always shine much brighter than it seems
G F C
Take a leap of faith and get away from the room of broken dreams
G F C
Take a leap of faith and get away from the room of broken dreams
G F C
Take a leap of faith and get away from the room of broken dreams
