Intro: Am - G - Am - G
 
            Am                         G
 I kept the right ones out and let the wrong ones in
        C                                       F
 Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
            Fm/G#                       C/G
 There were times in my life when I was goin` insane
                D/F#        F
 Tryin` to walk through the pain
        Am                 G
 When I lost my grip and I hit the floor
         C                                              F
 Yeah, I thought I could leave but couldn`t get out the door
       Fm/G#                C/G
 I was so sick and tired of livin` a lie
       D/F#                 F
 I was wishin` that I would die
 
 Chorus:
        C Em            F                   Em              G
 It`s amazing, with the blink of an eye you finally see the light
        C Em           F                       Em               G
 It`s amazing when the moment arrives that you know you`ll be alright
        F Em          D                       G                  C
 It`s amazing and I`m sayin` a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
 
      Am                D
 That one last shot`s a permanent vacation
     F                         C
 And how high can you fly with broken wings?
          Am                  D
 Life`s a journey not a destination
       F                            G
 And I just can`t tell just what tomorrow brings
 
             Am                        G
 You have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk
       C                                          F
 But I just couldn`t listen to all that righteous talk
       Fm/G#                    C/G
 I was out on the street, just tryin` to survive
 D/F#                 F
 Scratchin` to stay alive
 
 Chorus:
        C Em            F                   Em              G
 It`s amazing, with the blink of an eye you finally see the light
        C Em           F                       Em               G
 It`s amazing when the moment arrives that you know you`ll be alright
        Am Em         D                       G                  C
 It`s amazing and I`m sayin` a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
 
 C D

 D Em

 Em F
     Ow, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, ya ka kow, ya ka ka ka kow
