Amazing

Aerosmith · Icon [2012]

I kept the right ones out

And let the wrong ones in

Had an angel of mercy

To see me through all my sins

There were times in my life

When I was goin' insane

Tryin' to walk through the pain



And when I lost my grip

And I hit the floor

Yeah, I tought I could leave

But couldn't get out the door

I was so sick n' tired

Of livin' a lie

I was wishing that I would die



(Chorus)

It's amazing

With the blink of an eye

You finally see the light

Oh it's amazing

When the moment arrives

You know you'll be alright

Yeah it's amazing

And I'm saying a prayer

To the desperate hearts tonight



That one last shot's a permanent vacation

And a how high can you fly with broken wings

Life's a journey - not a destination

And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings



You have to learn to crawl

Before you learn to walk

But I just couldn't listen

To all that righteous talk

I was out on the street

Just tryin' to survive

Scratchin' to stay alive



(Chorus)

(Addlib vocals)

(Guitar solo)



(So from all of us at Aerosmith)

(To all of you out there)

(Wherever you are - remember:)

(The light at the end of the tunnel)

(May be you - goodnight)
