Id Like To Think

C       G

[Verse 1]
G             C           G     
Something has been awaked; I 
     Am         D  Dsus
feel it deep within my bones
G            Em                 
It’s building strength within me
Bm7                  D/F#
 to take control, or so I’m told

[Chorus]
G                    C           
I won’t believe that you might 
      Em             D/F#         
take me; you’d like to think that 
       G
you could
G                       C        
My gloves are off. I’ll come out 
         Em          D/F#      
swinging; don’t ever tell me the 
      G
odds
Em          D/F#          G
I’d like to see your best shot

[Verse 2]
G         C           G         
This fire raging in me will burn
      D
 down all that it may touch
G                Em             
I’ll go out in a blaze of glory;
Bm             D/F#
 you will fade silently to dust

[Chorus]
G                C             
I won’t give you my permission;
Em         D/F#          G
 my body’s mine to command
G                   C        
I need to feel like I can fight 
       Em            D/F#          G
this; I’d like to think that I can
Em          D/F#          G
I’d like to think that I can

[Bridge]
C          D     Am              
Wait! Just wait! Why can’t we 
  Em
just live together?
C       D            Am         
Why, oh why? There’s room for 
      Em
both of us to stay here
Am       D/F#      C        Am  
We could live like they do on 
 G            C
TV, with tape across the floor
C                  D/F#          
You take your things, I’ll keep 
           C          G
mine in this imperfect harmony

[Verse 3]
G                   C             
I’m still down here with my 
 G             D
shadow, somehow both sodden and 
hollow
G                Em               
I can’t remember what it felt like
Bm           D/F#
 without the weight of this load
G                   C   
I’d like to think I made a 
              G               D
difference; was I good? Is anything 
unsaid?
G                   Em           
I wish that I could say that I 
    Bm             D/F#
have no regrets, but there is no 
time left

[Chorus]
G                C        Em    
Forget today and turn away from 
    D/F#         G
the light up ahead
Em       D/F#          G
Soon, my pain, it will end
G                 C        Em    
From here on, I’m on my own so I 
D/F#          G
wish you the best
Em         D/F#         G
Your pain, too, it will pass

G                      C          
The love you gave will never fade;
Em           D/F#            G
 I’d like to think that it can’t.
Em      D/F#           G
So I’ll leave you with that
G                       C         
They say that life will find a 
 Em           D/F#           G
way; I’d like to think that it has
G                       C         
They say that life will find a 
 Em           D/F#           G
way; I’d like to think that it has

Em          D/F#           G
I’d like to think that it has
Em    D/F#         G
Now I see that it has
Em
Now I see
