Intro: Am Em F E Am Em F Esus4 E 

verse 1: 
     Am          Em 
The night is so wild, 
     F                E        Am 
And downstairs the child is sleeping, 
     Em           F  E 
Her spirit is free. 
     Am           Em 
For more than an hour, 
        F             E 
I have walked in the rain, 
           Am         Em             F 
I've been wondering, what she will be. 
     Dm         
But where are the heroes? 
 Bb                         Am                D 
Where are the dreams that I had, when I was young? 
      F                        C 
Am I hoping in vain, just to think, 
                      Esus4  E 
She could change anything? 

verse 2: 
                       Am  Em  F 
Well, I'm counting on you. 
      E           Am 
I'm counting on you, 
     Em          F         E            Am   
To bring that sweet gentleness to your world, 
    Em             F  E 
And all that you do. 
Am      Em        Dm         E 
My generation is losing its way. 
          Am               Em          F 
We don't know, what we're leaving for you. 
   Dm                         Bb 
So may there be millions who feel like you do, 
        Am  Em  F 
Oh, my love. 


            C G      F 
There is so much to know. 
            C G     F 
There is so far to go. 
            C G    F 
But you are not alone. 
              C/G  G 
When this is your world, 
         E7           Am  Em  F  Esus4  E 
And I'm counting on you. 

verse 3: 
 Am          Em          F           E 
Come to me, turn to me, give me your eyes, 
          Am       Em           F   E 
When you see, the mysteries of time. 
 Am              Em 
Here there are those, 
          F           E 
Who just live in the past. 
           Am     Em          F   
They will never, let history lie. 
          Dm            
And this sad little island, 
     Bb                         Am               D 
Is breaking my heart with it's dark, shades of green 
        F 
And as hard as I try, 
        C                          Esus4  E 
I just cannot see why this should be. 
                 Am  Em  F  E  Am  Em  F  E 
I'm counting on you. 


            C G      F 
There is so much to know. 
            C G     F 
There is so far to go. 
            C G    F 
But you are not alone. 
              C/G  G 
When this is your world, 
                     C G    F 
And I'm counting on you. 
                 C G    F 
I'm counting on you 
                 C G    F 
I'm counting on you 
 C/G  G  E7  Am  Em  F  Esus  E  Am 
Oh..............
