Biography:
Clay Aiken (born on November 30, 1978) is a popular American singer who rose to fame on the American Idol television program, and who has become the most successful second-place finisher in that show's history, even handily eclipsing that year's "Idol" winner in sales. His first single, "Bridge Over Troubled Water"/ "This Is The Night" debuted at Number One, and became the best-selling single of the year — and he was just getting started.

On My Way Here
by Clay Aiken
Eb Bb
I took my first step
Cm Ab
On that black and white kitchen floor
I sometimes wonder if that house is even there anymore
I had my first glimpse
Of love when I was five
I watched two people split apart
But still the three of us survived
Cm Bb
I’ve seen the best
Ab
I’ve seen the worst
Eb
I wouldn’t change what I’ve been through
Cm Bb
I’ve touched the sky
Ab
I’ve hit the wall
Bb
But I did what I had to
Chorus
Eb
On my way here
Bb
Where I am now
Cm
I’ve learned to fly
Ab Eb
I have to want to leave the ground
Bb Cm
I’ve fallen hard but I’ve been loved
Ab Cm
And in the end it all works out
Ab Eb Bb
My faith has conquered fear
On my way here
Oh yeah, yeah
My address has changed
Almost every year
I’ve found that standing still
Can quickly make a lifetime disappear
I’d rather try and fail
A thousand times denied
And this, whenever you feel pain
It lets you know you’re alive
I’ve been a fool
I’ve been afraid
Yeah, I’ve been loved
I’ve been lied to
I’ve been wrong
And I’ve been right
I stood up when I had to
Chorus
Cm Bb
No guarantees
Ab Eb
I believed that I would find
Cm Bb
An open door or a light
Ab Bb
To lead me to the other side
Bb
I guess that is why
