[Strophe]
              A              A 
Don't despair, you're there
        E                       E 
From beginning to middle to end
         A                                     A 
Don't despair, you're there through my wasted days
                               E             E 
You're there through my wasted nights
[Refrain]
      A 
Oh despair, you've always been there,
       A 
You've always been there, you've always been there
         E 
You were there through my wasted years,
        E 
Through all my lonely fears
   A 
No tears will run through my fingers,
A 
Tears - they're stinging my eyes,
   E 
No tears - it's all in my head
        E 
There's nothing to fear; nothing to fear
  A               A 
Inside
                             E               E 
Through the darkness and the light
                    A     A     E    E 
Some sun has got to rise
[Interlude]
A 
My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
A 
My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
E 
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun
E 
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun
A 
My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
A 
My sun is your sun, my sun is your sun
E 
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun
E 
Their sun is our sun, their sun is our sun
[Refrain]
      A                                      A 
Oh despair, you were there through my wasted days
                               E 
You're there through my wasted nights
                               E 
You're there through my wasted years
                               A 
You're there through my wasted life
                          A 
You've always been there, you've always been there, you've always been there
         E 
You were there through my wasted years
        E 
Through all of my lonely fears
   A 
No tears will run through my fingers,
A 
Tears - they're stinging my eyes,
   E 
No tears - we're all on the edge,
        E 
There's nothing to fear, nothing to fear
  A               A 
Inside
                             E               E 
Through the darkness and the light
                             E               E 
Through the darkness and the light
                    A     A     E    E 
Some sun has got to rise
