the timing right.]

E G#m                   A C#m
I thought the fight was over
    F#m E        E   G#m   E
All battles won
  G#m                  A     C#m
I thought you lit your blind folds
    F#      E         E   G#m   E
And watched them burn
  G#m                  A    C#m
I thought that I could show you
F#  E         E    G#m
All that I've found
          E        G#m         A 
But these barriers dictate all 
            C#m   F#   E
sight and all sound


[For the chorus, use the open 
fingerings of these chords.]

E                   A      
I found love in the loneliest 
                                 E
places, places I shouldn't be found
E                   A      
I found love in the home of a 
sinner, wrapped in some bitter sweet
    E
 song

E
So let me tell the truth, and let me
 come alive
E
Let me build bridges into your life
E                                
I'm sick of being born again and 
A
again
A                                  
I don't need conditions to let you 
E
in

[Use the same chord progressions for
 following verse/choruses.]

Have you noticed how we talk
And how we play our games
A leather-bound appeal
To change our ways
All I wanted was to show you
All that I've found
No answers, no exits, no prophecy a 
pound

I found love in the loneliest places
Places I shouldn't be found
I found love in the home of a sinner
Wrapped in some bitter sweet song
So let me tell the truth
Let me come alive
Let me build bridges
Into your life
I'm sick of being born again and 
again
I don't need conditions to let you 
in

[Bridge/violin solo]
C#m      B      G#m      A   B
C#m      B      E
C#m      B      G#m      A   B
C#m      B      E

I found love in the loneliest places
Places I shouldn't be found
I found love in the home of a sinner
Wrapped in some bitter sweet song
So let me tell the truth
And let me come alive
Let me build bridges
Into your life
I'm sick of being born again and 
again
I don't need conditions to let you 
in

E G#m            A    C#m
I never meant to hurt you
   F#    E         E   G#m   E
Or drive you away
    G#m            A
The barriers we've built
C#m                F#   E  E
Looks like they're here to stay
