C G F
You may not know this but you are everything
Am F G
You've ever needed
C G
Heaven with a touch of New York
F G
Silver with a touch of gold
C G
And I can see where you're goin'
F Am
But I don't really know the way
F G C
It's got too many changes
G
Too much re-arranging
F G
Too many ways to go a-stray
Chorus:

F C
So if you wanna go let me go along
F G
I'd never walk that road alone
F
I've hard it was hard
C
I've heard it was long
G
But we'll come back alive
Am F C
Cause only the strong survive
C G
You walk on a wire make a game of desire
F Am F
Pitchin' pennies down a wishing well
G C G
You're leading the blind through their high and
F G
Low times but baby can you lead yourself
C G
So calm down honey forget about the money
F Am F
If you need me I'll always be there
G C G
Go ride your white horse alone of course
F G
Cause if you need me I'll always care
(Chorus)
