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

God and glory torn to pieces,
Gb Dbm Abm
No no, it's just the spirit of the times

I don't wanna face
Ab Gm Fm
what I ain't gonna stand
D# A#
I'm resting my head on these stones
Cm A# Ab A#
God, what have you done to you and me
D# A# Ab Gm Fm
I'm tired of scaring the future away
D# A#
The dark road ahead, the fire is dead

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