C#m         A   E           B

[Bridge]
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -
C#m     A       E


[Verse]
   C#m      A   C#m          A E    B E B
If I become the choices that I make
C#m      A   C#m        A       E       B E
Am I on the road that I should  -take?
      B        C#m                    A   C#m                  A  E    B E
Cause I’ve got all of these ambitions but I’m afraid they take me down
    B       C#m                    A  C#m                  A    E      B E B
But I don’t want to end up wishing    For the life I could have found


[Chorus]
C#m             A      E                            B
If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding
     C#m          A      E     B
Will I still know how to see?
C#m          A        E
When I write the last words of this story
B      C#m          A       E
Will I be the man I want to be?
    B      C#m          A       E
Oh, will I be the man I want to be?

C#m      A  E  B C#m       A E B
Oh-oh-oh-oh   ,  oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse]
C#m      A    C#m            A     E   B E B
Many men have tried and lost their way
C#m              A   C#m           A  E      B E
Sold their souls for fortunes made of -flames
    B       C#m                      A    C#m                A  E    B E
And I don't want to follow footsteps   of tragedies and chasing fame
    B       C#m                         A     C#m                     A    E      B E
But I don't want to miss the first step   and never live 'cause I was too afraid


[Chorus]
C#m             A      E                            B
If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding
     C#m          A      E     B
Will I still know how to see?
C#m          A        E
When I write the last words of this story
B      C#m          A       E
Will I be the man I want to be?
    B      C#m          A       E
Oh, will I be the man I want to be?

C#m      A  E  B C#m       A E B
Oh-oh-oh-oh   ,  oh-oh-oh-oh
C#m      A  E  B C#m       A E
Oh-oh-oh-oh   ,  oh-oh-oh-oh



[Bridge]
(one strum each)
C#m        A               E
--If I got everything I've wanted
    C#m               A             E
And stood beneath the lights on the stage
          C#m            A              E
Would the boy when I was young love the man that I've become
   C#m           A            E
Or would he even recognize my face?


[Chorus]
C#m             A      E                            B
If these dreams get so bright that they're blinding
     C#m          A      E     B
Will I still know how to see?
C#m          A        E
When I write the last words of this story
B      C#m          A       E
Will I be the man I want to be?
           C#m     A            E
Oh, will I be the man I want to be?
           C#m     A            E
Oh, will I be the man I want to be?
