Intro:

  C D G , C D G , C D G C Em Am G D G C

G        C     Em      Am 
This and who I used to be
      G      D       C      G D G
Don't matter much at all to me.
    G       C      Em         Am
The pit you dug to plant your feet's
  G       D       C    G D G
a far cry from my destiny.

             C
Not even the clouds,
             G
Not even the past,
             G        C      
Not even the hands of God
      Em      Am        G D G
could hold me back from you.

C D G  

G        C      Em     Am 
Dark and lonely is the ride
    G     D      C     G D G
the devil always by my side.
       G        C        Em     Am 
Though no match for what lies between
    G          D
the thought of you
     C         G
your trust for me.

             C
Not even the sun,
                G
A bullet from a gun.

    G       C         Em          Am
No, nothing that this world could bring or
G    D       C         G
Anything someone could do
      C       D         G D G
Could hold me back from you.

C D G , C D G , C D G C Em Am G D G C

   G      C           Em     Am 
No can of gold placed in my hand,
    G       D      
the largest find 
         C        G D G
with the greatest sum.
       G          C     
Though some would say
     Em       Am
it'd ease our pain,
G       D       C        G D G
We know that it can't be done.

             C
Not even the sun,
             G
Not even the clouds,
             C
Not even the past

    G       C         Em          Am
No, nothing that this world could bring or
G    D       C         G
Anything someone could do
      C       D         G D G
Could hold me back from you,
      C       D         G D G
Could hold me back from you,
      C       D         G D G
Could hold me back from you.
