              V1 
C 
You carry me along with you 
        Am                Em 
Keep my spirit strong you do 
F                    C 
Maybe I was meant to be 
                    G   G7 
Under your lock and key 
    C 
The hard times that I had 
       Am                  Em 
Really don't seem all that bad 
F            C                G    G7 
Yesterday is long ago and far away 
 
Chorus 
F                             C 
And I'm beginning to feel the years 
                    G 
But I'm going to be okay 
                  C                   F 
As long as you're beside me along the way 
                          C 
Gonna make it through the night 
                 G    G7 
And into morning light 
 
Interlude 1  
C  Am  Em  G7 
 
V2 
          C  
There are things I said before 
        Am           Em 
I don't mean them anymore 
F            C                G    G7 
Yesterday is long ago and far away 
 
Chorus 
 
Interlude 2 
F         C        Em        F 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh  
F         C        Em        F 
Oooohhhhhhhhhhh    Oooohhhhhhhhhhh   
 
 
V3 
     C 
With angels by our side 
    Am                 Em 
The spririt's there to guide 
 
Chorus 
(Resolve to C at end)
