[Verse #1]
Am Fmaj C
There were many years to go
G F
so much I did not know
Am Fmaj C
Oh we left our severed dreams
G F
Among them burning beams
Am Fmaj C
There were so many years to go
G F
so much I did not know
[Chorus]
F G# Am
Hopes, lamely tethered,
F C G
Fingers; clasped and feathered
F G Am
restore my clinging seams
Am G
Take me home.
F G# Am
But by that tired wreath.
F G# Am
I lied through my teeth.
Am G
Now I walk on
F G Am
Dredding things to come
[Verse #2]
Am Fmaj C
Walkin through the trees
G F
He feel to his knees
Am Fmaj C
Crawlin he went on
G F
A man on the run
Am Fmaj C
He'd seen that foreign sun
G F
He'd met the fallen one
Am Fmaj C
It's my new low
G F
To tread unblemished snow
Am Fmaj C
So many years to go
G F
God so much I don't know
[Chorus]
F G# Am
but hopes, lamely tethered
F C G
of fingers clasped and feathered
F G Am
restored still clinging seams
Am G
of a home.
F G# Am
But by that tired wreath.
F G# Am
I lied through my teeth.
Am G
Now I walk on
F G Am
Regreting what I've done
[Verse #3]
Am Fmaj C
There they struck a deal
G F
He'd lie and he'd concial
Am Fmaj C
He might even be at peace
G F
at least he'd be released
Am Fmaj C
oh the pain dont go away
G F
just dulls day to day
[Semi-Chorus]
F G# Am
But by that tired wreath.
F G# Am
I lied through my teeth.
Am G
Now I walk on
F G Am
Dredding things to come
