 G                                                Am Bbm 
They say everything can be replaced,    
 Bm                Am                 G 
That every distance is not near,    
 G                                 Am  Bbm 
So I remember every face,    
 Bm          Am                          G 
Of every man who's put me here.    
 
     G                         Am  
     I see my light come shining,    
     Bm           Am                    G 
     From the west unto the east.    
     G                     Am  
     Any day now, any way now,    
  Bm  Am          G      
     I shall be released.    
 
They say every man needs protection,    
     
That every man must rise and fall.    
                                       
Yet I swear I see my reflection,    
     
Somewhere so high above this wall.    
 
**Chorus    
 
Yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd,    
     
A man who swears he's not to blame.    
                                                
All day long I hear him shouting so loud,    
     
He's crying out that he was framed.    
 
    
              
     I see my light come shining,    
             
     From the west unto the east.    
                             
     Any day now, any way now,    
          
     I shall be released.    
 
      F#sus4                         
     Any day now, any way now,    
      Esus4                           E  Esus      
     I shall be released
