  			(Verse 1) 
					         Am 
Because I'm playing for keeps 
                                                       C 
This time around, I'm in too deep 
                                         
                                              Em                               F      G 
To think about falling down and giving up again 
                  Am                                                      C 
I want to live each day just like it was my last chance to prove 
                     Em                                    F     G 
You're all I have and that is all I need 
Am                      F 
This is it, it's what we're waiting for 
C                    G                            Am 
This is it, it's all we're fighting for 
                           F                                  C 
I finally get a chance to show the world what you have 
 G                         F 
done for me 
      Am                      F       G                      Am 
So let this moment be You instead of me 
(Verse 2) 
   Am                                                     C 
Tired and bruise, every broken bone reminds me that  
                        Em 
I'm far from home 
                                                          F             G 
And these scars remind me who I am 
        Am                                                       C 
But you're the one, the reason that I run 
                                                          Em 
And I won't stop until you're done 
                                               F     G  (Go to Chorus) 
You're the only hope I have 

(Bridge) 
Am                         Em               F G 
I've counted the cost and I know 
Am                                     C              Em                   F       
Everything that really matters is everything worth fighting for!
