    To every eye that cares to see

Bridge 
C 
  Looked out on a sea of trouble 

And I tried to stall for awhile 
Am                     D 
It's so hard to answer every question 
         Am                   Fmaj7 
And it's hard to protect your heart anymore 

Interlude: 
Em  Am  Em  Am  G  F  Em  F  Em

    I'll let the moon announce my arrival (I am alive) 
Dm7          G7       Em 
    To every eye that cares to see 
F              G7     Em        Am 
  Just working on the art of survival (but I wonder) 
Fmaj7               Esus4  Em 
Where do we go from here
