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

God and glory torn to pieces,
A# Fm Cm

I don't wanna face
C Bm Am
what I ain't gonna stand
G D
I'm resting my head on these stones
Em D C D
God, what have you done to you and me
G D C Bm Am
I'm tired of scaring the future away
G D
The dark road ahead, the fire is dead

Father don't you see what you have made of me
