E B A E A
verse :
= = = = = =
E B
it is not love , if love is cold to touch .
A E
it is not belief , when there’s nothing there to trust .
E B
could not submit , would never bring myself to heel .
A E
determination grows , as each truth is revealed .
verse :
= = = = = =
torn and repaired , just to endure it all again .
without a reason , for my place in all this pain .
though well concealed , the scars they just compound .
until theres nothing left of what was my former self .
chorus :
= = = = = = =
A E
my god , look at what we are now –
G#m C#m
without regret for all the things that we have done .
thank you for all the doubts , and for all the questioning ,
for all the loneliness and for all the suffering .
for all the emptiness , and the scars it left inside .
it inspired in me , an impetus to fight .
for the conviction , for the purpose found along .
for the strength and courage , that in me i’ve never known .
and if it seems to you , that my words are undeserved ,
i write this in gratitude for whatever good it serves .
interlude :
= = = = = = = = = =
E
verse :
= = = = = =
sometimes i wish , that you could see me now .
in the rightful place , where i knew that i belonged .
sometimes i wish , that you might someday understand .
to close the chapter , and lay to rest the past .
verse :
= = = = = =
but nothing would change , we make the best of what we have .
for we are measured by the actions of our lives .
we bide our time , let the future unfold .
like immortals , in great legends to be told .

thank you for all the doubts , and for all the questioning ,
for all the loneliness and for all the suffering .
for all the emptiness , and the scars it left inside .
it inspired in me , an impetus to fight .
to all who stood with me , when we stood as one .
thank you for guiding me , for bringing me home .
and if it seems that i’m obliged to say these words ,
i write this in gratitude , the least that you deserve .
