Clay Aiken — On My Way Here

Intro: Eb – Bb – Cm – Gm-Ab

Eb – Gm7– Cm –
I took my first step

Ab – Eb –
On the black and white kitchen floor

Gm7 – Cm –
I sometimes wonder if that house

Ab – Eb –
Is even there, anymore

Gm7 – Cm – Ab –
I had my first glimpse of love

Eb –
When I was five

Gm7 – Cm –
I watched two people split apart

Ab – Cm –
But still the three of us survived

Gm –
I've seen the best

Eb/Ab
I've seen the worst

Cm –
I wouldn't change what I've been through
[John Mayer, Say Chords – LearnGuitarMusic.com]

Gm –
I've touched the sky

Eb/Ab –
I've hit the wall

Bb
But I did what I had to

O oooohhhh

Chorus 1:

Eb –
On my way here

Bb –
Where I am now

Cm/G –
I've learned to fly

Ab – Eb –
I have to want to leave the ground

Bb –
I've fallen hard

Cm
But I've been loved

Gm - Ab – Cm – Ddim
And in the end it all works out

Eb/Ab Bb
Faith has conquered fear

Eb –
On my way here

Interlude: Bb – Cm – Gm - Ab

Eb – Gm7 – Cm –
My address has changed

Ab – Eb –
Almost stand we here

Gm7 –
I've found that standing still

Cm – Ab – Eb –
Can quickly make a lifetime disappear

Gm7 – Cm –
I'd rather try and fail

Ab – Eb –
A thousand times denied

Gm7 – Cm –
And least, whenever you feel pain

Ab – Cm –
It lets you know that you're alive

Gm/Bb –
I've been a fool

Eb/Ab
I've been afraid

I've been loved

Cm –
I've been lied to

Gm/Bb –
I've been wrong

Eb/Ab
And I've been right
Bb –
I stood up when I had to

O oooohhhh
Chorus 2:

Eb –
On my way here

Bb –
Where I am now

Cm –
I've learned to fly

Gm - Ab – Eb –
I have to want to leave the ground

Bb –
I've fallen hard

Cm –
But I've been loved

Gm - Ab – Cm – Ddim
And in the end it all works out

Eb/Ab Gm-Fm-Eb-Bb
Faith has conquered fear

Cm –
On my way here

Ddim
No guarantees

Fm/Ab – Eb/Ab –
I believed that I would find

Cm – Ddim
An open door or a light

Ab – Eb/Ab –
To lead me to the other side
