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