Her dreams started out with a happiness
That no one could describe
As she slept, her mind went bright
And let out words from deep inside
Picture this kid when her life was just bliss
All her dreams had been achieved
But where do you go when your life isn't whole
After you've checked off all [Em]your dreams?
"And where do you [A7think you're going?"
Said her mother at sixteen
She was [Am7]never the type to [C7]show that life wasn't ɾight
But it invaded her dreams
Come and [Bm]take on [C7]the world with me
I could make your ɾealize there's more to [C7]see
Try to [C7]open your eyes; you [A7are not alone
With a messed up head, you'll feel at home here
Maybe [Am]we could chase life forever
Make a list of what we'll climb together
Maybe [Am]we could have the ɾest of our lives
To be [Am]a sliver of hope and [Bm]a beacon [C7]of light to [C7]others
Maybe [Am]if you [A7lay under blue skies, not grey
It'll help you [A7find your bliss
And when you [A7keep moving on [C7]with a heart that belongs
Your old life, you [A7will never miss
Take a deep breath; count to [C7]a hundred and [Bm]ten
And by the end, you'll fall [Em]asleep
Not one soul will be [Am]ɾeady to [C7]go
And one day you'll be [Am]complete
Come and [Bm]take on [C7]the world with me
I could make your ɾealize there's more to [C7]see
Try to [C7]open your eyes; you [A7are not alone
With a messed up head, you'll feel at home here
Maybe [Am]we could chase life forever
Make a list of what we'll climb together
Maybe [Am]we could have the ɾest of our lives
To be [Am]a sliver of hope and [Bm]a beacon [C7]of light
"And everything is horrible"
Said the people in her life
When she let go of them, things got [Fm7]better so quick
And I'm so glad that you [A7tɾied
Look at us chasing life together
The list we made goes on [C7]forever
It might just be [Am]that the ɾest of our lives
Could be [Am]a sliver of hope and [Bm]a beacon [C7]of light
Come and [Bm]take on [C7]the world with me
I could make your ɾealize there's more to [C7]see
Try to [C7]open your eyes; you [A7are not alone
With a messed up head, you'll feel at home here
Maybe [Am]we could chase life forever
Make a list of what we'll climb together
Maybe [Am]we could have the ɾest of our lives
To be [Am]a sliver of hope and [Bm]a beacon [C7]of light
We'll be [Am]a sliver of hope and [Bm]a beacon [C7]of light to [C7]others
