Show Me the Way
guitar chords lyrics
D - A - G
D G A D Bm Em A
1. Every night I say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven,
D G A D Bm G A
but every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners.
Bm D Bm E
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child,
G D A
have fallen to idols of clay,
D G A D G Em A
and I feel this empty place inside, so afraid that I've lost my faith.
D G D G
Show me the way, show me the way !
D F#m Bm A Em A
Take me tonight to the river and wash my illusions away.
D G D G - D - G - D - G
please, show me the way.
D G A D Bm Em A
2. And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred,
D G A D Bm G A
I close my eyes and know there�s peace in a world so filled with hatred.
Bm D Bm E
That I wake up each morning and turn on the news,
G D A
to find we�ve so far to go,
D G A D G Em A
and I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won�t know.
D - G D - G
Show me the way, show me the way !
