This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Am C

I found your name in a book

D

And in that book a letter

E

Were the words of a girl

Am

Who said that she was lead away

C D

and left for dead but somehow she survived it

E

How was it no one would

Am

believe that

C

you were

D

part of their world, a different world

E

one they denied you

Am

If I could help you

C D

I would help you now

E

And you can speak through me

Am C

I am I am

D E

I am Anastasia
