Em
I have been cruel and kind without knowing
C
I fell into silence overwhelmed by these days
  Am
For I had been shown empty rulers,
    B7
ruling all things

Em
Thinking the world was mine to lay hold of
 C
I breathed in the promise of maiden and man
  Am
But each had their own illusions
    B7
to hold on to


Em   D           C
I only want to be left to my own ways
Em       D           C     Bm
The rulers have won leaving all things undone
Em      D          C
I've stood in awe of the whole creation
Bm             C
Gathered among them was the morning
            Em
Giving all its rest


Em
Thinking the world was mine to be lost in
C
I ran with a freedom and sang in between
  Am
For I had the path of wonder
    B7
There before me


Em   D           C
I only want to be left to my own ways
Em       D           C     Bm
The rulers have won leaving all things undone
Em      D          C
I've stood in awe of the whole creation
Bm             C
Gathered among them was the morning

Giving all its rest


(Solo) Em C Am B7


Em   D           C
I only want to be left to my own ways
Em       D           C     Bm
The rulers have won leaving all things undone
Em      D          C
I've stood in awe of the whole creation
Bm             C
Gathered among them was the morning
            Em
Giving all its rest


    D           C
I only want to be left to my own ways
Em       D           C     Bm
The rulers have won leaving all things undone
Em      D          C
I've stood in awe of the whole creation
Bm             C
Gathered among them was the morning
            Em
