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
