G(3)   D(5)   C(3)  [2x]

 

G       D              C      G     D                    C

I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been.

G              D/F#        C/E                C  G/B  Am

Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.

Am                  D      Am                      D

And I've made up my mind - I ain't wasting no more time,

D          Em   Am   C G     Em    Am  C  D

Here I go again-----.  Here I go again.

 

Though I keep searching for an answer,

I never seem to find what I'm looking for.

Oh Lord I pray you give me strength to carry on.

 

PRE-CHORUS:

Am                        D    Am                               D  C D

'Cause I know what it means to walk along the lonely streets of dreams.

 

CHORUS:

G               C         D   C   D

And here I go again on my own.

      G             C              D   C   D

Going down the only road I've ever known.

       G             C              D   C

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

Am7                 D      Am7                     D  C  D

And I've made up my mind - I ain't wasting no more time.

 

I'm just another heart in need of rescue,

Waiting on love's sweet charity.

And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days,

 

PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS:

 

D          Em   Am   C G     Em    Am  C  G

Here I go again-----.  Here I go again.  [4x]
