I chose to use barre chords instead of regular chords because it gave off a fuller sound:
e|-5-3-1-2--2--3-|
B|-5-3-1-2--3--4-|
G|-5-4-2-3--4--5-|
D|-7-5-3-4--4--5-|
A|-7-5-3-4--2--3-|
E|-5-3-1-2--x--x-|
  Cm

Intro:
G

(I play this as the verses just to keep it interesting)
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|----------5-----------5-------------4b4----------4b4-|
D|----------7-----------7-------------5------------5---|
A|-----7---(7)-----7---(7)-------5---(5)------5---(5)--|
E|-5-5---5-(5)-5-5---5-(5)-5/3-3---3-(3)--3-3---3-(3)--|

G
If I trust in the wind she will pave me a different road
        G
I will try and start over but I think I must choose someone else
       G
I am pulled from the pages where the letters lack the pigment of trust

         G
must be on my way, I’ve got to get home
          G
won’t be back someday, so let it unfold

(G)
        G
I’ve abandoned the outcome in search of the rest I deserve
        G
you can do what you will with my body but I won’t ring the bell
        G
I’ve omitted the chapters that bow and admit defeat
         G
must be on my way, I’ve got to get home
          G
won’t be back someday, so let it unfold

F
I a mountain
               F#   
of cavernous people 
G
searching for a lighthouse in the fog
(Repeat twice)

(G)
          G
of the flowers that grew from the cracks in the ground you paved
        G
didn’t you think he would warn me through the thorns of my waking dreams
           G
when the riddles connected the dots of this constellation

         G
must be on my way, I’ve got to get home
          G
won’t be back someday, so let it unfold

F
I a mountain
               F#
of cavernous people 
G
searching for a lighthouse in the fog
(Repeat twice)

Cm
I found a reason to leave you with this load
Cm
all I can do is forgive your broken heart
Cm
trapped in this tower made of amber for too long
Cm
all I can do is forgive your broken heart

F
I a mountain
               F#
of cavernous people 
G
searching for a lighthouse in the fog
(Repeat twice)
