[Intro]
G Em D C G
These arterial road ways
Em D C G
Carry empathy in differently
Em D C G
From a heart made to break the scale
Em D C
To its unfeeling extremities
G Em D C (x2)
[Chorus]
Em G
In between the rise and fall of an empire
D C
The light from the campfire, is fading away
Em G D
History writes itself on the faces of people and places
C G
In traces of gray
Em D C G
As the stock market sleeps tonight
Em D C
This town dreams in black and white
G Em D C (x2) G
[Verse]
Em D C G
The house filled with vampires
Em D C G
Can a wound go unrecognized?
Em D C G
See the ghost of a distant time
Em D C
As a freightliner of bull's fight
Em G D C (x2)
[Chorus]
Em G
In between the rise and fall of an empire
D C
The light from the campfire, is fading away
Em G D
History writes itself on the faces of people and places
C
In traces of gray
Em G
In between the rise and fall of an empire
D C
The light from the campfire, is fading away
Em G D
History writes itself on the faces of people and places
C G
In traces of gray
