| Eb | Bb | |
| I took my first st | ep |
| Cm | Ab | |
| 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 |
| Cm | Bb | |
| I've seen the bes | t |
| Ab | |
| I've seen the worst |
| Eb | |
| I wouldn't change what I've been through |
| Cm | Bb | |
| I've touched the | sky |
| Ab | |
| I've hit the wall |
| Bb | |
| But I did what I had t | o |

| On my way he | re |
| Bb | |
| Where I am n | ow |
| Cm | |
| I've learned to f | ly |
| Ab | Eb | |
| I have | to want to leave the grou | nd |
| Bb | Cm | |
| I've f | allen hard but I've been l | oved |
| Ab | Cm | |
| And in the e | nd it all works out |
| Ab | Eb | Bb | |
| My faith has conquered f | ear |
| 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 |
| Cm | Bb | |
| No guarante | es |
| Ab | Eb | |
| I | believed that I would fi | nd |
| Cm | Bb | |
| An open door or a lig | ht |
| Ab | Bb | |
| To lead me to the other si | de |
| Bb | |
| I guess that is why |
