C             G      A#         Am7
We made the distance, yeah, we made the day.
G#        C              F#sus4         B
You made all the difference 'cause you found the way

Without your wisdom
Lord, where would we be?
Lost in the wilderness
Somewhere out at sea

Chorus:
G             Am7
But you were there
             Bm7-5            E7
Through the days of wine and madness,
         Am7 Bm Em A7
When I'd always
        Dmaj7 D7
put you down.
G          Am7
You were there
            Bm7-5       E7
Through my joys and my sadness
         Am7 Bm C D
And you never
        C
let me down.

You found the meaning
And helped me to see
Where I was going to
All that I could be

Without permission
You turned the key
You climbed the prison wall
Deep inside of me

Chorus - x2

You were there - x3
