Lyrics

(A)I've (D)seen the (Esus)light,

(E)and (A)I've (D)seen the (Esus)flame.

(E)And (A)I've been (E)this way (D)before,

and I'm (A)sure to be this (Bm7)way (Esus)again.

(E)For (A)I've (D)been (Esus)refused,

(E)and (A)I've (D)been (Esus)regained.

(E)And (A)I've seen (E)your eyes (D)before,

and I'm (A)sure to see your (Bm7)eyes (Esus)again,

(E7)once (A)again.

(E7)For (A)I've (Dmaj7)been (E7sus)released,

(E7)and (A)I've (Dmaj7)been (E7sus)regained.

(E7)And (A)I've sung (E)my song (D)before,

and I'm (A)sure to sing my (Bm7)song (Esus)again,

(E)once (A)again.

(A)Some people got to laugh.

(E)Some people got to cry.

(D)Some people got to make it through

by (Bm)never (A)wond'ring (E)why.

(A)Some people got to sing.

(E)Some people got to sigh.

(D)Some people never see the light

(Bm)until the day they (E)die.

But (A)I've (D)been (E)released,

and (A)I've (D)been (E)regained.

And (A)I've been (E)this way (D)before,

and I'm (A)sure to be (Bm7)this way (E7sus)again,

once (A)again, (Dmaj7)(E7sus)(E7)one more time (A)again,

(E7)just one more (A)time.
