Intro
E G#m A x2
[Verse 1]
E G#m
I think of the days
A
I was thrilled by this road ahead
E G#m A
When the moment won over what was to come
C#m G#m A B
Not afraid of the distance but the distance afraid of me
C#m B A
Everytime I made it there I found nothing
A
The distance was gone
[Chorus]
E B
Now, I don't wanna fade
A G#m F#m
But I ain't gonna run
E B
I'm resting my head on these stones
C#m B A B
God, what have you done to you and me
E B A G#m F#m
I'm tired of scaring the future away
E B
No road ahead, the fire is dead
C#m B A
Father don't you see in front of you
A
Is what the chase has left of me
[Verse 2]
E G#m
If only they told me
A
What the kerbside was hiding away
E G#m A
Where the angels from high street didn't want to go
C#m G#m
And a heartbeat is forced
A B
To resign to the glory of a commonplace
C#m B
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 B
Cut it out I'm tired of the future myself
[Chorus]
E B
I don't wanna fade
A G#m F#m
But I ain't gonna run
E B
I'm resting my head on these stones
C#m B A B
God, what have you done to you and me
E B A G#m F#m
I'm tired of scaring the future away
E B
No road ahead, the fire is dead
C#m B A
Father don't you see in front of you
A
Is what's left of me
[Verse 3]
F Am Em
God and glory torn to pieces,
G Dm Am
No no, it's just the spirit of the times
F Am Em
I'm drawn to a flame that won't release me
G
Release me!
Dm Am
And I see a thousand who wait in line
[Solo]
F Am Em G Dm Am
F Am Em G Dm A
[Chorus]
E B
I don't wanna face
A G#m F#m
what I ain't gonna stand
E B
I'm resting my head on these stones
C#m B A B
God, what have you done to you and me
E B A G#m F#m
I'm tired of scaring the future away
E B
The dark road ahead, the fire is dead
C#m B A
Father don't you see what you have made of me
