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