  G#m                       B 
I was the one to call the shots 
                              E 
Dreamed my dreams, heart and soul 
                    B 
Answered only to myself 
                    F# 
Never giving up control 
          G#m     F#               C#m     F# 
Until the one day, that brought me to my knees 
              G#m  F#     E 
And I would never be the same

B                      F# 
Once upon a time the story goes 
   G#m                  F#       C#m 
I laid it all down and let it go 
                 E   F# 
To lose it all, to lose it all 
   B                        F# 
I took a step of faith and said goodbye 
G#m                 F#       C#m 
Everything I had I left behind 
              E 
To find true life 
G#m           F#               E 
All I longed for I found finally 
                  B F# G#m F# C#m E 
At the end of me 

(verso 2) 
G#m                              B 
Now they're gone, those wasted days 
                            E 
The selfish soul, the emptiness 
                                B 
Love moved in, they've been replaced 
                          F# 
That old life is laid to rest 
         G#m F#             C#m     F# 
Now the new me is stronger day by day 
        G#m   F#     E 
I will never be the same

                      E 
Like an answer to a prayer 
                 G#m 
Jesus you were there 
               F#              B 
Calling me to live to die, to give to gain 
F#                      E 
And I'll never be the same
