Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
Bbm B Bbm A E
[Verse 1]
Ebm
What have I done?
Ebm
Sweet Jesus, what have I done?
Ebm
Become a thief in the night
Db
Become a dog on the run
Ab
Have I fallen so far
Ab
And is the hour so late
Fm
That nothing remains but the cry of my hate
Fm
The cries in the dark that nobody hears
Ab Eb Ab
Here where I stand at the turning of the years?
[Verse 2]
Ab
If there's another way to go
Abm
I missed it twenty long years ago
B
My life was a war that could never be won
B
They gave me a number and murdered Valjean
E Ab
When they chained me and left me for dead
E Ab
Just for stealing a mouthful of bread
[Instrumental]
Cm F
[Verse 3]
F Bbm
Yet why did I allow that man
F
To touch my soul and teach me love?
Dm A
He treated me like any other
Bb
He gave me his trust
F
He called me brother
Bb
My life he claims for God above
C F
Can such things be?
F
For I had come to hate the world
C F Db
This world that always hated me
[Verse 4]
Ab
Take an eye for an eye
Ab
Turn your heart into stone
F
This is all I have lived for
C F Eb Fm F Bm Bbm F
This is all I have known---------------!
[Verse 5]
F Bbm
One word from him and I'd be back
F
Beneath the lash, upon the rack
Dm A
Instead he offers me my freedom
Bb F
I feel my shame inside me like a knife
Bb C
He told me that I have a soul
F
How does he know?
Bbm
What spirit comes to move my life?
C D
Is there another way to go?
[Verse 6]
Gm Dm
I am reaching, but I fall
Dm
And the night is closing in
C
As I stare into the void
C
To the whirlpool of my sin
F
I'll escape now from that world
E
From the world of Jean Valjean
Eb F
Jean Valjean is nothing now
Bb Dm Db Eb Db Eb Bb Eb
Another story must begin-----------------!
