              Intro - (Am G Dm)   
 
Am                                   G               Dm   Am                                G         Dm 
      I walk to the edge again,      searching for the truth  
Am                        G          Dm    Am                   G               Dm 
      Taken by the memories         of all that I've been through  
Em                Am                  F                                   G 
      If I could hear your voice I know that I would be okay  
G                     Am                          F                       G 
I know that I've been wrong but I'm begging you to stay  
Won't you stay?  
Em                 G                       Am  
   Will you be here or will I be alone? 
                  F 
Will I be scared? you'll teach me how to be strong  
Em                G                                    Am 
And if I fall down will you help me carry on  
                          F 
I cannot do this alone  
 
 
Base do solo: (F G Am G Am)  
 
 
Am                         G                Dm    Am                      G         Dm 
I wish that I could turn back time        just to have one more chance 
Am                       G           Dm   Am                 G            Dm 
To be the man I need to be,         I pray you'll understand  
Em                      Am                     F                     G 
If I could hear your voice I know that I would be okay  
 
G                     Am                          F                       G 
I know that I've been wrong but I'm begging you to stay  
Won't you stay? 
 
Em                 G                       Am  
   Will you be here or will I be alone? 
                  F 
Will I be scared? you'll teach me how to be strong  
Em                G                                    Am 
And if I fall down will you help me carry on  
                          F 
I cannot do this alone  
Em                G            
I need your hand to help me make it through again  
Am                 F 
Nothing compares to how I feel when I look at you  
Em                        
You never know, you never know tomorrow  
G 
You never know, you never know tomorrow 
Am                 F  
Don't walk away  
Em                G                      Am 
Will you be here or will I be alone? 
F  
Will I be scared? you'll teach me how to be strong  
Em                                                G 
And if I fall down will you help me carry on  
         Am                   F 
I cannot do this alone     (2x) 
  
Em           G                            Am 
I am not alone I know you're there  
                 F                              G 
 I am not alone I know you're there 
              Em                               Am 
I am not alone I know you're there  
 
                  F 
 I am not alone.
