1 Verse:
Eb                                         Db
How do you write a song
                                                            Eb
Where did you find your voice you ask
                                                   Db
How are you standing strong
                                                       Eb
Where did you find a love that lasts

You can't start a book 
                                        Db
In the middle of the story, no
Eb                                    
You can't have a destiny 
                       Db
Without the journey, no
        Ab 
I wish you could 
            Gb             Db/F                  Eb
But no it ain't quite as pretty it looks

Chorus:
                                    Eb
You didn't see the doors that slammed
             Db
You saw me on my second chance
                                 Eb
You didn't see the battles I lost 

And the demons I fought 
                     Db
With my own bare hands
                                  Eb
You didn't see the tears I cried
                                Db
You only saw me in the light
                                    Eb
You didn't see me scared to death 
                                                     Db
You thought my success was overnight
                                   Ab
And I guess you're right
                        Gb
It was over night after night 
              Db/F                            Eb
After night after night  after night

2 Verse:
Eb                                       Db
I'm standing on a stage
                                            Eb
I had to pay for this applause
                                         Db
I've turned another page
                                                  Eb
But it didn't come without a cost

I turned to my pain to art 
                                        Db
And I brushed it on a canvas
Oh...
Eb 
It ain't no Van Gogh, 
                                        Db
but it's got a touch a magic
Oh...
        Ab
It took some years, 
                Gb
Some hard learned lessons
           Db/F                   Eb
Oh let me make it clear
(Let me make it crystal clear)

Chorus:
                                    Eb
You didn't see the doors that slammed
             Db
You saw me on my second chance
                                 Eb
You didn't see the battles I lost 

And the demons I fought 
                     Db
With my own bare hands
                                  Eb
You didn't see the tears I cried
                                Db
You only saw me in the light
                                    Eb
You didn't see me scared to death 
                                                     Db
You thought my success was overnight
                                   Ab
And I guess you're right
                        Gb
It was over night after night 
              Db/F                            Eb
After night after night  after night

Bridge:
   Eb
Night after night after night after night
            Db
I'm begging on my knees saying God please
  Eb
Night after night after night after night
               Db
Those angels were surrounding surrounding me
  Eb
Night after night after night after night
        Db
I wrestled in the dark with the old me
   Eb                                                         Db
Night after night after night after night

Chorus:
                                    Eb
You didn't see the doors that slammed
             Db
You saw me on my second chance
                                 Eb
You didn't see the battles I lost 

And the demons I fought 
                     Db
With my own bare hands
                                  Eb
You didn't see the tears I cried
                                Db
You only saw me in the light
                                    Eb
You didn't see me scared to death 
                                                     Db
You thought my success was overnight
                                   Ab
And I guess you're right
                        Gb
It was over night after night 
              Db/F                            Eb
After night after night  after night
