D            Am
Put me on an aeroplane
   C              Em
A million miles away
      D            Am
She's opened up a book of hate
     C                Em
And tore a brand new page
   D
Tonight I'll find
   Am
a wishing well
   C              Em
Tomorrow's a new day
   D
Tonight I'll find a
Am
wishing well before
C        Em
it's too late

Chorus:
             D
Show me the way
            Am
Show me the way
            C
Why do my dreams
               Em
keep slipping away?
             D
Show me the way
            Am
Show me the way
Spent a whole
 C                 Em
lifetime running away

     D              Am
She questioned my ability
    C                Em
To learn from my mistakes
   D                 Am
I said she'd need a guillotine
    C            Em
To put me in my place
   D                   Am
Tonight I’ll write my eulogy
   C            Em
Before I fade away
   D
Tonight I'll write
    Am              C   Em
my eulogy so don't be afraid

Chorus:
Show me the way!
Show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
Show me the way!
Show me the way!
Spent a whole lifetime running away
And every time I close my eyes,
i've lost another day
Show me the way!
Show me the way
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?

    A#
The waves came
         Dm
crashing down fast
              A#
And when the storm
              Dm
was over the sky turned black
           A#
And now I pray for sunshine
   Dm
I pray for sunshine
   A#                      A
I pray you'll help me to escape

Chorus:
Show me the way,
show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?
Show me the way,
show me the way!
Spent a whole lifetime running away
And every time I close my eyes
i've lost another day
Show me the way,
show me the way!
Why do my dreams keep slipping away?

D              Am
Every time we close our eyes
       C            Em
we've lost another day
D              Am
Every time we close our eyes
      C                 Em D
our dreams will have to end
