[Intro ]
Gm D7 Gm
[Verso 1]
Gm
Well, I awoke from a dream I hoped God I'll never see
D7
Where there was hope left for me
EbM7 Bb Bbsus4 Bb
With earmarked memories and paper-thin beliefs
Gm
Oh, they came down from the hills swinging silver and sword
D7
I only saw what my eyes could afford
EbM7
And how they move like the wind now
Bb Bsus4 Bb
It was calm before the storm
[Refrão]
EbM7 Bb
And so I held my breath
Gm D7 Gm
Because no one taught me how to fight
Gm D7 Gm
Yeah, no one taught me how to fight
[Verso 2]
Gm
Oh, I never thought of running, but we all ran away
D7
And I heard the tone between us change
Eb EbM7
We were young and divided by
Bb Bbsus4 Bb
The fears of the pride and pain
Gm
And then we took to the streets and see it spread like a disease
D7
What kind of man would treat the truth like a thief
Eb EbM7 Bb
Among one hundred beating hearts now I was blind beyond belief
[Refrão]
EbM7 Bb
And so I held my breath
F Bb
And I closed my eyes
EbM7 Bb
I watched the devil run his fingers
F Bb
Through the hair of a pine
EbM7 Bb
I heard the whisper in the wind
F Bb
A-comin' over me
EbM7 Bb F
Then I wondered what becomes of a man
EbM7 Bb F
Then I wondered what becomes of a man
Gm EbM7 Bb F
Of a man singing song
Gm EbM7 Bb F
Singing song
[Ponte]
Gm EbM7 Bb F
And breathe under water now, my pounding head
Gm EbM7 Bb F
For only he who belongs to the sea understands
Gm EbM7
The wind, the crow's nest, forest
Bb F
Be that as it may
Gm EbM7 Bb F
We ain't worth nothing to no one alive
Outro
Gm EbM7 Bb F x6
Gm D7 Gm (let it ring)
