Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Difficulty: Intermediate Intro: Gm Eb Gm Eb Verse: Gm The words that I once loved Gm Now drip with unease Gm As I step back and at once Gm See the forest for the trees Eb It won’t matter our intentions Gm Our hopes or our plans Cm Eb What matters is the end result F This book in my hands Cm No one will know how well we meant Gm7 Gm How much we sacrificed Em7 C7 C Cause this story’s how we broke the world Gm B And couldn’t pay the price Chorus: Eb So I’ll redact and I’ll revise B Recut the truth and redefine the lies Eb Step back and see our story Gm Through the future’s eyes Gb Ab An agonizing revision F7 Bbm Made with exact precision Gb Ab Db Gb Only alone can I see this vision through Db Gb Spare the world Ab Gm And then make it back to you
Verse: Gm I’ve the power to change things Gm And I know I have to try Gm And I called it. I knew it. Gm Now I’ve got to pin down why Eb Put aside your pride, Lucretia Gm Time you stopped pretending Eb A story isn’t good Gm If we all hate the ending Cm I’ve learned that faith is lovely B But never goes as planned C If you want something done Eb F Take it into your own hand Chorus: Eb So I’ll redact and I’ll revise B Recut the truth and redefine the lies Eb Step back and see our story Gm Through the future’s eyes Gb Ab An agonizing revision F7 Bbm Made with exact precision Gb Ab Db Gb Only alone can I see this vision through Db Gb Spare the world Ab Bbm And then make it back to you Bridge: Gb Ab They’ll be safe, they’ll be happy Fm Bbm When the past is redacted Gb Same people and same world F7 Bm Ab Just with some bits subtracted Gb Give them beaches and sun Ab Db Bbm Ab And a taste of their favorite things Gb Ab Give them the world Db Bbm Ab And a chance to sample the flavor it brings Ebm Give them crafts and keeps and love Db And a chance to reset Gb All the pain of the past Db Gb The stories and songs F7 And the choices we’d rather forget Chorus: Gb So I’ll redact and I’ll revise Db Recut the truth and redefine the lies Gb Step back and see our story Bbm Through the future’s eyes Gb Ab An agonizing revision F Bbm Made with exact precision Ab Gb Ab Db Gb Only alone can I see this vision through Db Gb Spare the world Db Gb Spare the world Ab Gm And then make it back to you
