Intro:
C#m  E  A

           C#m
Forgive me now
            E               A
For I have sold my soul for gold
          C#m
Washed up on shore
           E          A
A thousand miles away from home
        C#m               E          A
Just as I begin to settle into these skin and bones, alone
  C#m                           E       A
I find the answers to questions I have never known


Chorus:
          C#m
Is there life beyond the grave?
      E     A                                C#m
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
      E          A
There must be a better way


Verse:
             C#m                    E    A
Running from time to try and keep myself alive
     C#m                       E           A
Release my pride to keep from pushing the light aside
       C#m                 E
Now as I begin to let this in
       A
I must keep the best in mind
         C#m                               E           A
And remove myself from the things that are wasting my time


Chorus 2:
            C#m
I know that one of these days
     E        A                                  C#m
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
          E          A                      C#m
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?
             E                    A
I know these words won't hold any weight
                 C#m
But please don't turn away
            A
Don't turn away from me


Bridge:
         C#m
Is there life beyond the grave?
           E                                 A
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
                 B
There must be a better way
            C#m
I know that one of these days
             E                                  A
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
                     B
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?
         C#m
Is there life beyond the grave?
           E                                 A
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
                 B
There must be a better way
            C#m
I know that one of these days
              E                                 A
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
                     B
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?
