SHOW ME THE WAY
 by Styx

*Original key is Gb*

[INTRO]
G Dsus Am7 C


[Verse 1]
G     Am      D     G
Every night I say a prayer, 
       Em         C         
in the hopes that there's 
  Dsus   D
a heaven,
     G     Am      D       G            
 but every day I'm more confused
        Em          C    Dsus   D
 as the saints turn into sinners.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
           Em         Baug        
   All the heroes and legends 
  Em7       Em6
I knew as a child,
        C         G        Dsus   D
   have fallen to idols of clay,
         G          Am   D           
   and I feel this empty place 
  G
inside, 
    C               Dsus     D
so afraid that I've lost my faith.

[CHORUS 1]
Dsus        G    D  C               
Show me the way,       
Dsus        G     D  C
show me the way!
Dsus      G            D      
Take me tonight to the river 
Em             D       Am   D
and wash my illusions away.
        Dsus      [ G ]
please, show me the way.

[Verse 2]
    G      Am   D        G           
And as I slowly drift to sleep, 
      Em     C          Dsus   D
for a moment dreams are sacred,
  G       Am        D                  
I close my eyes and know there's 
G
peace 
     Em       C           Dsus   D
in a world so filled with hatred.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
        Em           Baug       
 That I wake up each morning 
    Em7         Em6
and turn on the news,
    C          G      Dsus   D
 to find we've so far to go,
       G       Am     D     G       
 and I keep on hoping for a sign, 
   C                        Dsus
so afraid that I just won't know.

[CHORUS 2]
Dsus        G    D  C               
Show me the way,       
Dsus        G     D  C
show me the way!
Dsus       G            D        
Bring me tonight to the mountain 
Em             D       Am   D
and take my confusion away.
     Dsus        [ G ]
and, show me the way.

[BRIDGE]
      B7                                
  And if I see a light, 
         Em     Em7 Em6
should I believe?
           Cmaj7       Am   D
  Tell me, how will I know?

to believe that I'll get there 
Am      D
someday.
