Capo on 2nd fret
              **** 
 
 
VERSE 1: 
A       E 
Listen 
       F#m             C#m7 
To the song here in my heart 
  D                  E 
A melody I start but can't complete 
A       E 
Listen (mmm) 
       F#m             C#m7 
To the sound from deep within 
     D                    E 
It's only beginning to find release 
 
        C 
Oh, the time has come 
    E7 
For my dreams to be heard 
Am                   G 
They will not be pushed aside and turned 
F                                   E 
Into your own, all 'cause you won?t listen 
 
A 
Listen 
                E 
I am alone at a crossroads 
                      F#m 
I'm not at home in my own home 
         E 
And I've tried and tried 
       D 
To say what's on my mind 
E 
You should have known 
 
A                          E 
Oh, now I'm done believing you 
 
You don't know what I'm feeling 
    F#m                G#5 
I'm more than what you made of me 
  C#m7                A5 
I found the voice you gave to me 
D/A                      E 
But now I've got to find my own 
 
 
VERSE 2: 
                A         E 
You should have listened 
         F#m            C#m7 
There is someone here inside 
    D                              E 
Someone I thought had died so long ago 
 
        C 
Oh, I'm screamin out 
E7 
And my dreams will be heard 
Am                    G 
They will not be pushed aside or worse 
F                                   E 
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen 
 
A 
Listen 
                E 
I am alone at a crossroads 
                      F#m 
I'm not at home in my own home 
         E 
And I've tried and tried 
       D 
To say what's on my mind 
E 
You should have known 
 
A                          E 
Oh, now I'm done believing you 
 
You don't know what I'm feeling 
    F#m                G#5 
I'm more than what you made of me 
  C#m7                A5 
I found the voice you gave to me 
D/A                      A - G# - G - F# - C  (slide down fret by fret 
But now I've got to find my own                then jump to C) 
 
 
BRIDGE: 
  C                  E7 
I don't know where I belong 
    Am              G 
But I'll be moving on 
       F             E 
If you don't, if you won't 
 
 
A       E 
Listen 
       F#m             C#m7 
To the song here in my heart 
  D                    E 
A melody I start but I will complete 
 
 
2nd part of Chorus: 
A                          E 
Oh, now I'm done believing you 
 
You don't know what I'm feeling 
    F#m                G#5 
I'm more than what you made of me 
  C#m7                          A5 
I found the voice you think you gave to me 
D/A                     E           A 
But now I've got to find my own, my own 
 
 
End on A
