  G#m                       B
I was the one to call the shots
                              E
Dreamed my dreams, heart and soul
                    B
Answered only to myself
                    F#
Never giving up control
          G#m     F#               C#m     F#
Until the one day, that brought me to my knees
              G#m  F#     E
And I would never be the same

(refrão)
B                      F#
Once upon a time the story goes
   G#m                  F#       C#m
I laid it all down and let it go
                 E   F#
To lose it all, to lose it all
   B                        F#
I took a step of faith and said goodbye
G#m                 F#       C#m
Everything I had I left behind
              E
To find true life
G#m           F#               E
All I longed for I found finally
                  B F# G#m F# C#m E
At the end of me

(verso 2)
G#m                              B
Now they're gone, those wasted days
                            E
The selfish soul, the emptiness
                                B
Love moved in, they've been replaced
                          F#
That old life is laid to rest
         G#m F#             C#m     F#
Now the new me is stronger day by day
        G#m   F#     E
I will never be the same

(ponte)
                      E
Like an answer to a prayer
                 G#m
Jesus you were there
               F#              B
Calling me to live to die, to give to gain
F#                      E
And I'll never be the same
