C            F G   Em    Am

 If I had a razor sharp enough

     F   G      Em

I'd cut myself clear

    C       Dm        G          Am

Of all the pieces of pain in my past

            Dm      G

And I'd be free at last

            F G   Em    Am

If I had a razor sharp enough

    F                G             Am

And I could see the edges clearly too

         Dm                 G           Am

I'd cut away the part that binds me to you

          Dm            G

But I am blinded by my tears

     Dm                G                 Am

And all my blades are dulled by passing years

            F             G            Em

And all my wishes cannot make it over now

   Dm          G                 C

I hope I have enough to make it through somehow



If I had a candle bright enough

To shine in my soul

And light the dark of the loneliness found

I'd find my way around

If I had a candle bright enough

And I could see the love I've lost inside

I'd have the courage to reach out instead of hide

But I am blinded by my tears

My candle's burned at both ends through the years

And all my wishes cannot make it over now

I hope I have enough to make it through somehow



Now I have a song that's strong enough

To see me through all

The lonely darkness and pain life will bring

And still have strength to sing

And I have a song that's bright enough

To light the path from yesterday to dawn

And give me courage to smile and still go on

Now I see clearly through my tears

My wits have grown much sharper with the years

And though my wishes cannot make it over now

I know I have enough to make it through somehow
