Chords with lyrics

---Intro:
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD * 2

---Verse 1 (melody variant 1):
E minorEm                C majorC                   G+G                       D MajorD
I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go
             E minorEm               C majorC     G+G        D MajorD
at what I thought I knew was real, held no appeal
E minorEm              C majorC                      G+G                      D MajorD
I've been to places, I've seen the tidings, I bought a book of rules
            E minorEm                C majorC        G+G           D MajorD
for every coin that I could steal

---Verse 2 (melody variant 2):
     E minorEm    C majorC      G+G     D MajorD        E minorEm C majorC G+G               D MajorD
And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn

     E minorEm   C majorC        G+G      D MajorD      E minorEm C majorC          G+G          D MajorD
And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn

---Prechorus:
E minorEm            C majorC      G+G     D MajorD
So when I'm crying alone
E minorEm               C majorC        G+G  D MajorD
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone

---Chorus:
E minorEm          C majorC       G+G   D MajorD
Grow me a garden of roses
E minorEm             C majorC        G+G    D MajorD
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
E minorEm            C majorC              G+G   D MajorD
Teach me to speak with their voices
E minorEm           C majorC            G+G   D MajorD
Show me the way and I'll try again

---Instrumental (as intro)

---Verse 3 (melody variant 1):
I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I
behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you
away the seed

---Verse 4 (melody variant 2):
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn

---Prechorus

---Chorus

---Middle eight:
D MajorD   E minorEm            D MajorD          C majorC
Without you I'm nothing at all
D MajorD    E minorEm            D MajorD        C majorC       D MajorD
And life has the face of a morbid game
     E minorEm                D MajorD     C majorC
With you nothing is impossible
   D MajorD            E minorEm       C majorC    E minorEm
It all seems to fit the frame

---Prechorus

---Chorus * 3 with fade on the last one
