[Intro]
Bb  Gm      C
Gm  Bb  Gm F Bb
F Bb
 
 
[Verse 1]
       Gm
Like a breath of fresh air and the wind at my back
Gm
Toe to heel with strong strides taking miles off the map
Gm
In this journey called life where I've walked so far
Gm
Under the heat of your sun and the shine of your stars
Gm
Step by step I've crept, I've crawled, and I've run
Gm
Felt the palm of your hand and the barrel of death's gun
Gm
I ran for my life stood strong through strife
                          C
From a miscarried life to waiting for my wife like
Bb                F
I heard it sung a thousand strong all night long
Gm
Heard heaven's bell going something long, it's like
Gm
I've been there in total despair
         Bb
Now I've tasted and I've touched
Bb
A breath of fresh air
Bb
'Cause I do live and I hope and pray
              Gm
For something better and brighter today
                    F             Eb
For something there for something there
 
 
[Chorus]
                    Gm       Bb
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
                Gm                    Bb
But you gave me more love that set me free
                    Gm       Bb          Gm
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
                               Am          Cm
But you have gave me more love that set me free
 
 
[Verse 2]
     Gm
Like road trips on open roads
Gm
Windows down sun setting and fresh new clothes
Gm
Shoes off so you can stop reflect on all these paths unfolding
Gm
With these staffs that are pulling in this world so controlling
Gm
It's not always best to take the interstate
Gm
Sometimes the most is on the windy coast way
Gm
'Cause wide is the path pulling astray
Gm
Narrow is the truth in these days
Gm
But all the while I hear a still small voice say
Gm
You climbed the cliffs rocked the desert on your very own
Gm
Swam the seas, sang the songs with the sweetest tones
Gm
The beaches you've combed, moons you've roamed the love you've shown
Gm
But all the while a voice calls you home
            Bb                  Gm
'Cause I do live and I hope and pray
Gm
For something better and brighter today
                    Eb                 Gm
For something there for something there
 
 
[Chorus]
                    Gm       Bb
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
                Gm                    Bb
But you gave me more love that set me free
                    Gm       Bb          Gm
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
                               Bb          Gm
But you have gave me more love that set me free
 
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
                    Gm       Bb
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
                Gm                    Bb
But you gave me more love that set me free
                    Gm       Bb          Gm
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
                               Bb          Gm
But you have gave me more love that set me free
