Intro
F Am A# x2
[Verse 1]
F Am
I think of the days
A#
I was thrilled by this road ahead
F Am A#
When the moment won over what was to come
Dm Am A# C
Not afraid of the distance but the distance afraid of me
Dm C A#
Everytime I made it there I found nothing
A#
The distance was gone
[Chorus]
F C
Now, I don't wanna fade
A# Am Gm
But I ain't gonna run
F C
I'm resting my head on these stones
Dm C A# C
God, what have you done to you and me
F C A# Am Gm
I'm tired of scaring the future away
F C
No road ahead, the fire is dead
Dm C A#
Father don't you see in front of you
A#
Is what the chase has left of me
[Verse 2]
F Am
If only they told me
A#
What the kerbside was hiding away
F Am A#
Where the angels from high street didn't want to go
Dm Am
And a heartbeat is forced
A# C
To resign to the glory of a commonplace
Dm C
I am jaded
[Pre-chorus]
A#
I don't wanna see what's becoming of me
A#
Here's a bit! Then spare me this sight now…
A# C
Cut it out I'm tired of the future myself
[Chorus]
F C
I don't wanna fade
A# Am Gm
But I ain't gonna run
F C
I'm resting my head on these stones
Dm C A# C
God, what have you done to you and me
F C A# Am Gm
I'm tired of scaring the future away
F C
No road ahead, the fire is dead
Dm C A#
Father don't you see in front of you
A#
Is what's left of me
[Verse 3]
Gb A#m Fm
God and glory torn to pieces,
Ab Ebm A#m
No no, it's just the spirit of the times
Gb A#m Fm
I'm drawn to a flame that won't release me

Release me!
Ebm A#m
And I see a thousand who wait in line
[Solo]

[Chorus]
F C
I don't wanna face
A# Am Gm
what I ain't gonna stand
F C
I'm resting my head on these stones
Dm C A# C
God, what have you done to you and me
F C A# Am Gm
I'm tired of scaring the future away
F C
The dark road ahead, the fire is dead
Dm C A#
Father don't you see what you have made of me
