On My Way Here
by Clay Aiken

Eb                Bb
I took my first step
Cm                      Ab
On that black and white kitchen floor
I sometimes wonder if that house is even there anymore
I had my first glimpse
Of love when I was five
I watched two people split apart
But still the three of us survived

Cm               Bb
I’ve seen the best
Ab
I’ve seen the worst
Eb
I wouldn’t change what I’ve been through
Cm               Bb
I’ve touched the sky
Ab
I’ve hit the wall
                      Bb
But I did what I had to

Chorus
            Eb
On my way here
            Bb
Where I am now
                 Cm
I’ve learned to fly
      Ab                        Eb
I have to want to leave the ground
      Bb                        Cm
I’ve fallen hard but I’ve been loved
            Ab                  Cm
And in the end it all works out
Ab                      Eb       Bb
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here

Oh yeah, yeah

My address has changed
Almost every year
I’ve found that standing still
Can quickly make a lifetime disappear
I’d rather try and fail
A thousand times denied
And this, whenever you feel pain
It lets you know you’re alive
I’ve been a fool
I’ve been afraid
Yeah, I’ve been loved
I’ve been lied to
I’ve been wrong
And I’ve been right
I stood up when I had to

Chorus

Cm         Bb
No guarantees
 Ab                       Eb
I believed that I would find
Cm                   Bb
An open door or a light
Ab                        Bb
To lead me to the other side
                   Bb
I guess that is why

Chorus
