G               C       G
As I stray out on my own
         Em       D/F#  G
Become a stranger to my self
        G      C        G
Walk away from all I own
        Em      D/F#    G
Put my life on to a shelf

          G          C      G
Well I’m alone, But I’m not lonely
         Em          D/F#     G
I’ve got friends everywhere I go
            G         C       G
I’ve got a house but still no home
        Em     D/F#  G
I take shelter in my song

             C                     
I’ve been bold and I’ve been beaten

I’ve come ahead and I’ve lost
C                       G
Everything I’ve been given
                Em      D/F#   G
Has been worth the pain its costs
Em            D/F#          G
Worth the pain its costs

Well theres a lie, Behind my smile
The truth, that can’t be told
It’s a load that I can’t share
So I’ll carry that load on my own

I’ve been bold and I’ve been beaten
I’ve come ahead and I’ve lost
Everything I’ve been given
Has been worth the pain its costs

I’ve got love that can’t be love
A love that can’t be held
It’s a love that tortures me
That without my life is hell

I’ve been bold and I’ve been beaten
I’ve come ahead and I’ve lost
Everything I’ve been given
Has been worth the pain its cost

I’ve been bold and I’ve been beaten
I’ve come ahead and I’ve lost
Everything I’ve been given
Has been worth the pain its cost
