[Intro]
Em Cmaj7 C D

[Verse 1]
Em          Cmaj7
Once upon a time
                 C
When people were kind
             D
And love was forever
Em         Cmaj7
No need to pretend
                 C
The world was my friend
             D
When we were together

[Chorus]
     Em                   C
With You, the darkness is brighter
                G
The valleys are higher
               Dsus  D
All things are new
     Em                       Cmaj7
With You, there’s no shame in trying
                G
Even failure is finding
             D
A way to get through

[Bridge]
Em                        Em7
         You taught me to love
    C                     D
You told me that you’d be there
Em                        Em7
        Please don’t give up
        Cmaj7          Dsus      G
Cause I need you to be here with me

[Verse 2]
Em                Cmaj7
Far, we’re so far away
                      C
We will get there one day
                D
We just have to follow
Em                    Cmaj7
The dream, follow the dream
                  C
And as hard as it seems
                  D
We could be there tomorrow

A way to get through
