Verse: 
 
C                     G        
i've been working hard so long 
F 
seems like pain has been my only friend 
C                           G 
my fragile heart's been done so wrong 
F 
i wondered if i'd ever heal again 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
 
Dm                            Em

all around me i can feel a change (ohh) 
 
Chorus: 
 
C                              G                       Am 
i will break these chains that bind me, happiness will find me 
               F 
leave the past behind me, today my life begins 
C                    G                         Am 
a whole new world is waiting it's mine for the takin 
               F 
i know i can make it, today my life begins 
 
Verse: 
 
C                  G 
yesterday has come and gone 
F 
and i've learnt how to leave it where it is 
C                  G 
and i see that i was wrong 
F 
for ever doubting i could win

all around me i can feel a change (ohh)
