A5 (along with above riff) D/F# G5
I don't know what it is that makes me feel alive
I don't know what awakes the things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes

I hope that I can say the things I wish I'd said
To sing my soul to slepp and take me back to bed

You want to be alone but when we could be alive instead

Chorus

Because we need each other

We believe in one another
F C G
And I know we're gonna uncover
F C G
What's sleepin' in our soul
Becuase we need each other
We believe in one another
(And) I know we're gonna uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
A5 G5 F#5 F5 E
What's sleepin' in our soul

Verse 3
-------
There are many things that I would like to know
And there are many places that I wish to go
But everything's depending on the way the wind may blow

I don't know what it is that makes me feel alive
I don't know how to wake the things that sleep inside
I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes

Chorus
------
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're gonna uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're gonna uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul

What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Yeah, we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
'Cause we believe
Because we need
Because we need

Song ends with the chord progression:

F C/E Eb C G
