G
I remember way back when
             D
I felt only ennui
                       A
Like nothing could complete me
                    G
No promise of a rising sun
                D
Illuminating everyone
                  A
The very thought defeated

                   G
My life was a blinded light
                              D
Must be what it's like when worlds collide
                     A
Especially when he sees her

Pretty soon he'll tease her
                   G
I was on the road too long
                   D
My laboured lover only song
                  A
Not one of them a keeper

G
But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
Bm
I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
                  D                   A
But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
G
I once built a bower, I could build you a home
Bm
Together forever but forever and on
                  D                       A
Is still not long enough, still not long enough

                          G
You look confused in your eyes
                      D
And I could see myself as a child
                   A
Such a devastating feeling
Em A
                        G
I wished I could go back in time
                       D
But all I could do was apologize
                          A
Right then your eyes were healing
         Dm    A
Healing

G
Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
Bm
I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
                D                   A
But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
G
I once built a bower, I could build you a home
Bm
Together forever but forever and on
                  D                      A
Is still not long enough, still not long enough

               G                  D
Oh, I've been Cain but I wanna be Abel
                A         D            G
Been a drunken fool but I wanted to be stable enough
                         D
To lay every one of my cards onto the table
A
Hope it's not too late for us to find a way too

G
If I woke in the morning to find you were gone
Bm
I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
                D                   A
But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
G
I once built a bower, I could build you a home
Bm
Together forever but forever and on
                    D                         A
Is still not long enough, it's still not long enough

G
I went looking inside myself for a home
Bm
Find only a sapling in search of an oak
                   D                         A
But it's a start my love, oh it's a start my love
                G
But am I strong enough?
