C#m  A  F#7  B  C#m (x3)

C#m F# D  (D A E F# B)

B      C#m      F#         B
Sailing down behind the sun,
A          E    F#         B
Waiting for my prince to come.
B      C#m      F#         G#m
Praying for the healing rain
C#m     D     A       E
To restore my soul again.


C#m    A  F#     B
Just a toerag on the run.
E		A
How did I get here?
F#    		B
What have I done?
C#m    A      F#     B
When will all my hopes arise?
E		A
How will I know him?
F#         B    C#m
When I look in my father's eyes.

C#m  A  F#7  B  C#m (x3)

C#m F# D  (D A E F# B)

B      C#m      F#         B
Then the light begins to shine
A          E    F#         B
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
B      C#m      F#         G#m
And as I watch this seedling grow,
C#m     D     A       E
Feel my heart start to overflow.

C#m    A        F#         B
Where do I find the words to say?
E		A
How do I teach him?
F#    		B
What do we play?

C#m    A      F#      B
Bit by bit, I've realized
E		A
That's when I need them,
F#         B            C#m
That's when I need my father's eyes.


C#m  A  F#7  B  C#m (x3)

C#m F# D

Bridge:

E A D (x3)

E A D A  Are you really so far away... (Repeat)
D A A E

(D A E F# B)

B      C#m      F#         B
Then the jagged edge appears
A          E    F#         B
Through the distant clouds of tears.
B      C#m      F#         G#m
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
C#m       D         A            E
My foundations were made of clay.


C#m    A        F#        B
As my soul slides down to die.
E		A
How could I lose him?
F#    		B
What did I try?

C#m    A     F#       B
Bit by bit, I recognized
E		A
That he was here with me;
F#         B    C#m
I looked into my father's eyes.

C#m    A         F#        B
