Somewhere I Still Stand
VERSE 1
(Cm – Bb – Eb – Ab)
I’ve walked a road that never asked me where I meant to go,
Carried weight I never counted, more than I would ever show.
(Cm – Bb – Ab – G)
And though the years have left their marks like footsteps in the sand,
I still rise each time I’m shaken, though I barely understand.
PRE-CHORUS (optional, but it lifts beautifully)
(Ab – Bb – Cm – G)
Maybe fate is just a echo, maybe doubt’s a second home…
Still I steady both my hands I won’t face this night alone.
CHORUS
(Eb – Bb – Cm – Ab)
But I’m learning how to breathe where the light and shadows meet,
Standing tall, though every heartbeat feels like marching on half-beat.
(Eb – Bb – Ab – G)
If the world should pull me under, I’ll return with clearer sight,
’Cause I know the dawn is louder when you wrestle through the night.
VERSE 2
(Cm – Bb – Eb – Ab)
I’ve seen friends lose all their colour, watched their fire fade away,
And I’ve feared that same slow fading when my own mind goes astray.
(Cm – Bb – Ab – G)
But there’s something in the struggle that reminds me who I am —
Every fall is just a teacher, every scar another plan.
PRE-CHORUS (optional repeat)
(Ab – Bb – Cm – G)
If the path begins to tremble, I’ll still follow where it bends,
’Cause the man I am tomorrow grows from every place that ends.
CHORUS (repeat)
(Eb – Bb – Cm – Ab)
But I’m learning how to breathe where the light and shadows meet,
Standing tall, though every heartbeat feels like marching on half-beat.
(Eb – Bb – Ab – G)
If the world should pull me under, I’ll return with clearer sight,
’Cause I know the dawn is louder when you wrestle through the night.
BRIDGE
(Fm – Ab – Eb – Bb)
I’ve walked this far, but still I wonder if I’m chasing shadows blind,
Every step feels borrowed, every truth a thread I’m trying to bind.
(Fm – G – Cm – Ab — hold)
If I rise again, will the ground stay firm beneath my feet this time?
I’ve lost my way before… but this light feels almost mine. (hold)
FINAL CHORUS
(Eb – Bb – Cm – Ab)
And I’m learning how to breathe where the light and shadows meet,
Even storms can shape a lifeline if you listen for the beat.
(Eb – Bb – Ab – G)
If the darkness calls me backwards, I’ll return with stronger hands,
’Cause the fight has made me stubborn… and I’m proud of where I stand.
OUTRO (soft, reflective)
(Cm – Bb – Ab – G)
Still standing, still learning…
Still rising, still certain.
