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

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