Chorus - (Rhythm guitar):-
G  D                              Em
   Now that we’re here, So far away
        C                             G
All the struggle we thought was in vain
           D                  Em
In all the mistakes one life contains
         C                      G
They all finally start to go away
               D              Em
Now that we’re here, So far away
      C                          G
And I feel like I can face the day
              D                  Em
And I can forget  that I'm not ashamed
          C                     G
To be the person that I am today
