Les Miserables - Valjeans soliloquy

^EbmWhat have I done? ^EbmSweet Jesus, what have I done? ^EbmBecome a thief in the night Become a ^Dbdog on the run ^AbHave I fallen so far ^AbAnd is the hour so late That ^Fmnothing remains but the cry of my hate ^FmThe cries in the dark that nobody hears ^AbHere where I stand at the ^Ebturning of the ^Abyears?

^AbIf there's another way to go I missed it twenty long ^Abmyears ago ^BMy life was a war that could never be won ^BThey gave me a number and murdered Valjean When they ^Echained me and left me for ^Abdead Just for ^Estealing a ^Abmouthful of bread

^FYet why did I allow ^Bbmthat man To touch my soul and teach ^Fme love? He ^Dmtreated me like any other ^A He ^Bbgave me his trust He called ^Fme brother My life he claims for God ^Bbabove Can ^Csuch things ^Fbe? ^FFor I had come to hate the world This ^Cworld that always hated ^Fme ^Db

^AbTake an eye for an eye ^AbTurn your heart into stone This ^Fis all I have lived for C F Eb Fm F Bm Bbm F This is all I have known---------------!

^FOne word from him and I'd be back^Bbm Beneath the lash, upon the ^Frack ^DmInstead he offers me my ^Afreedom I feel my ^Bbshame inside me like a ^Fknife He told me that I have a ^Bbsoul ^C How does he ^Fknow? What spirit comes to move my ^Bbmlife? ^CIs there another way to ^Dgo?

^GmI ^Dmam reaching, but I fall ^DmAnd the night is closing in As I ^Cstare into the void ^CTo the whirlpool of my sin I'll ^Fescape now from that world From the ^Eworld of Jean Valjean ^EbJean ^FValjean is nothing now Bb Dm Db Eb Db Eb Bb Eb Another story must begin-----------------!
