The Boy Who Lived

Ab Fm Db


[Verse 1]
Ab
All my life, I've waited
      Eb
For a place to feel like home
        Fm
With an open arm
Fm
Away from harm
    Db
And never alone


[Verse 2]
        Ab
Well, I found a place I matter
      Eb
But the future's so unclear
         Fm
Like I'm in a maze
          Fm
There's a million ways
   Db
It all could disappear


[Verse 3]
Ab
How do you go from sleeping
     Eb
In a room under a stair?
       Fm
To the one everyone
Fm
Hangs their hopes on
     Db
It's more than I can bear


[Pre-Chorus 1]
N.C.                        Eb
When you're standing on the edge
        Ab           Db
Looking out into the sky
       Db
Do you jump if you're not sure
             Eb
That you can fly?


[Chorus 1]
      Ab
Can I be the one?
        Eb
Could I change what's done?
         Fm
Should I turn away
Fm
Refuse to stay
   Db
Or give all I can give?
       Ab
Will I ever be
          Eb
What they see in me?

     Fm
If I learn to trust
   Fm
Or am I just
    Db Eb
The boy
N.C.      Ab
who lived?


[Interlude]
Ab


[Verse 4]
       Ab
Do you choose what's right or easy?
         Eb
Pick the path that you can see?
      Fm
No, I have to try
         Fm
Look him in the eye
            Db
'Cause it's more than only me


[Verse 5]
         Ab
It's the choices that define us
             Eb
It shows the person that you are
        Fm
So I'll stand my ground
        Fm
Feel my heartbeat pound
           Db
'Cause I'm more than just this scar


[Verse 6]
     Ab
As a wise man always told me,
        Eb
"In the dark, you'll find the 
light.”
        Fm
So I'll make my way and say,
            Db
"I won't go down without a fight!"


[Pre-Chorus 2]
N.C.                        Eb
When you're standing on the edge
        Ab           Db
Looking out into the sky
    Db
You jump and hope
                       Eb
You grow your wings to fly


[Chorus 2]
      Ab
I can be the one
      Eb
I can touch the sun
        Fm
So I'll find a way
     Fm
To a brighter day
    Db
And give all I can give
      Ab
I can try to be
          Eb
What they see in me
     Fm
If I learn to trust
    Fm
I'm more than just
    Db Eb
The boy
    Fm
who lived


[Bridge]
Fm                           Db
When your back's against the wall
                        Ab
And you stumble and you fall
       Ab
Do you follow through or
Eb                        Fm
Do you disappear into the crowd?
                          Db
When it all comes down to you
                          Ab
You know what you have to do
     Ab               Eb
This can't all be for nothing
     Eb
I'll try to make you proud
Eb            N.C.
I'll make you proud


[Chorus 3]
       A
I will be the one
        E
Do what must be done
         F#m
Standing side by side
         F#m
Push the dark aside
             D
'Til there's nowhere left to hide
      A
I can try to be
          E
What they see in me
     F#m
If I learn to trust
    F#m
I'm more than just
    D  E
The boy
E   A
