A                               C
Long before the living past had ripped it all apart
A                                 Fmaj7
Something still remained until It flashed back to the start
A                             C
Where it stands, nobody saw behind the blackest eyes
A                                     Fmaj7             Em7

Asus --------- Asus (let ring)

A                                 C
What I'd give to hear again those everlasting songs
A                         Fmaj7
Why did all the accidents contrive to fall at once?
     D         E        C#m       Dmaj7    D       E    C#m         Dmaj7
Only day after day with you in my thoughts I never knew time was so short

For once in my life I wasn't alone with blood on my hands how could I have known?

Am -------------- Dm
Am                                               Dm
Used to be the great white hope once I walked on water
Am                                      Dm
Now I barely stay afloat balance out of order
Ab                  Gm         Fm                      Bb
With every sympathy worn away      who can I return to now?
Am                                               Dm
For the time that I have left I scan that cold horizon
Am                                         Dm
Searching for a kindred soul, someone to rely upon
Ab                  Gm           Fm                    Bb
We disconnected and Heaven sent sheltered in dead air, hidden everywhere

D              A    G     D                  A
The sky lights up above America
D            A         G       D              A
The world is lost but loves America
Bm       G                Bm        A
When the eyes of children see the ones left standing
Bm        A           G            A
And the rest begin to finally understand
D           A     G        D              A
The hand of God defends America
D             A      G      D            A
And who would not defend America?
Bm                          Bm        A
We've got light on our side we're in pole position
Bm        A                  G              A     D
      So praise the Lord and raise the ammunition high

D ---- C ---- Bb --- A

C        G    D
Raise it    high

Hide where you can
We will shoot you where you stand

E
I've walked a million miles upon an open road
                                                  Bm
And once in every while without the will to carry on
      A           Bm       C
Hours held me too long in one location

E
An old familiar tale, a glory to behold
                                          Bm
A work of genius, the greatest story ever sold
       A           Bm           C              A
As you sign on the line, as you do what you're told

I've been this way before I've seen it many times
                                                Bm
Collision on the track the fiction turning into fact
       A             Bm    C                    A
No-one dares to look back, best you start to prepare
A          G    A      G       A           C#m
For the harvest ahead, all you lose is yourself

I'm brought to life with a series of shocks
C#m    F#m                 A            G#m
I     realise that you are gone from my life
C#m         B             A          G#m
And still I cling to the fear of the dark
C#m  F#m                         A            G#m
Don't follow them for they don't care how you are
A   B                          G#m     A
        And I'm finding                    a way of being
A   B             G#m       C#m
        Accepting life all alone
A   B                          G#m     A
       And I'm hoping                   I'll wake up seeing
A   B          G#m        C#m
      A way to live on my own

C#m       B        A                G#m
It wasn't hard to believe in the lie
C#m           F#m             A         G#m
Although I've come to know it wasn't my fault
C#m          B        A        G#m
Why does the world continue to spin
C#m        F#m             A           G#m
While everything around me grinds to a halt?
A   B                          G#m     A
        And I'm finding                    a way of being
A   B             G#m      C#m
        Accepting life all alone
A   B                          G#m     A
       And I'm hoping                   I'll wake up seeing
A   B          G#m        C#m
      A way to live on my own

We enter an age of permanent doubt

Where we communicate without words

But I must be heard so I cut through the smoke and the noise
F#        C#m       F#        B           C#m      F
Mine is a real fine line it imagines it's one of a kind
F#         G#m           F#           B
Goodbye to all expression farewell to superstition

        E                         F#         G          F#       G
Been remembering and doing little else

The road ahead is anything but clear

A                       Dm        Bb    C              G

Anyone who saw me crawling there would have known that I was normal once

E                        Dm
But old enough to kill anyone
HA!

Am                      F
In the days when love divided up the looks
F#                    G
No drastic means were used like rod and hooks
Em                       F
To enhance what nature's sculptor had designed
D               Eb
No augmentation needed to refine
Am                   F
In the valley of the dollar, we rejoice
F#                 G
For plastic is the currency of choice
Em                 F
And beauty born is strictly for the birds
D                     Eb
Your cash is fine but credit is preferred

Am                                           Dm
When I held myself aloft I walked across the water
Am                                         Am
Now I barely cut across, lives are getting shorter
G#               Gm                F          Bb
And they open up another door to a border far below
Am                                              Dm
For the time that I'm allowed, there's a new horizon
Am                                        Dm
But a soul as cold as ice is nothing to rely upon
G#                  Gm                     F            Bb              F     Bb
If I'm hanging onto angels' wings then I'm safer in the air

Do I still qualify, suspended from on high?

No other sanctuary have I

And the living past returns to reap the Harvest of Souls
