[Verse]
D G
There’s a light shining through the scars
Bm
Of a million tired souls
F#m A
Kindled in the heart of us all
D G
From a flame can come a witch’s fire
Bm
Or a warm hearth in a blizzard
A Em Bm
Calling us in from the darkness
D
The golden age has come and gone
G
So-called progress marches on
Bm
The best of all things in the worst of all times
F#m A
The future is here - all nickels and dimes
D
The same old story sells itself
G
Class and conduct - labour and wealth
Bm A Em D
Waiting in their station for a train that’ll never come
[Instrumental]
D G Bm A Bm Em
D G Bm A Em D
[Verse]
D G
So many times - I found myself at odds
Bm
With the words of self-styled kings
F#m A
But I had not the strength to deny them
D G
And other times - I tried to still the waters
Bm
Running canyons in my mind
A Em Bm
But I only managed to get in my own way
[Bridge]
G
But I dare to hope that the clouds will break
D
And the good sun will prevail
Em
To burn away the cruel fog of war
B5 C#5 D5 E5 F#5
And turn the scorched earth green
G
They can nail me to the pearly gates
D
And salve my wounds with lye
Em
They can do many things
G D
But they won’t make a fool out of me.
[Instrumental]
D G Bm A Bm Em
D G Bm A Em D
[Verse]
D G
There’s a life carved out in the stars
Bm
For a billion burdened souls
F#m A
Waiting around to die
D G
On the day you stand to meet your maker
Bm
Be it a god or Mother Nature
A Em D
Can you say that lived the right way? Can you say it?
