C                     G
i've been working hard so long
F

C                           G
my fragile heart's been done so wrong
F
i wondered if i'd ever heal again
Dm                            Em
ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
F                          G
all around me i can feel a change (ohh)
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
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
Dm                            Em
ohh just like all the seasons never stay the same
F                          G
all around me i can feel a change (ohh)
C                              G                       Am

leave the past behind me, today my life begins
C                    G                         Am

               F

Dm                 Em

Am                                              G       Dm
