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