The Earth Falls Asleep by Jeremy Spring / Abandon Kansas
Intro:
Can
E
anyone tell me
Emaj9
how, how we
A2
learn to live with
E
ourselves?
I’ve been for
C#m
given of things only
G#
God knows, but I
A
can’t forgive my
Am
self
After
E
all of my searching
E/C
I found who I
C#m
am, and it’s not what I
E
wanted
But I’m
C#m
here now, and I’m
F#maj
broken, come
A2
save me from this
E
hell
guitar interlude: E E/C C#m D
Verse 1:
A2
The earth falls
B
asleep much too early for
G#m
me
I close my
C#m
eyes but
B
I can’t
A2
rest
My body is
B
tired, my mind is
G#m
running
From the
C#m
past to the
B
east to the
F#m
west
Trying to
G#m
find the blame that you’ve
A2
already taken from
A2
me

Verse 2:
A2
I’m convinced that the
B
world that we see is a
G#m
curtain
C#m
Behind which
B
vast realms
A2
await
us
Of uncharted
B
marvels and oceans of
G#m
mercy inside my
C#m
Father’s
B
eyes
A2
And the mountains are
B
grandstands, that
G#m
sheets of blue sky rest
C#m
up
B
on
F#m
Peeled back with
G#m
ease by your hands to
A2
reveal a glory I’ve
A2
never
seen

Bridge:
I want to
E
pay for the things I’ve
E/C
done, and the people I’ve
C#m
hurt, get what I
D
deserve
But you won’t
A
let me,
B
no, you won’t
E
let
me
Outro:
My
E
hope is in the unseen
C
My
E
hope is in the unseen
C
My
E
hope is in the
Emaj9
unseen, cause I
A2
see no hope in
E
me
