Chords

[Intro] C G Em D C G D [Verse 1]
C            G
  Red on the carpet floor

Em          D                C
  Is all forgiven or forever stored

        G
In each lie we tell

D             Em                          C        G  D
  And in each silence that we choose not to fill

C            G
  Truth is a part of me died

Em               D                         C
  When you said "I don't really want to be alive"

G
Time stood still

D        Em                  C       G  D
  And it hasn't really moved since
[Chorus]
Em                          C G   D
   As the torrents bend the tired pines

Bm     Em           C     G    D
I cave in to what I can't make right

Em         C
My shield, my shroud

G                         D
  Does it clear or does it cloud?

   Em      Bm    C
My shield, my shroud

        G               D
Does it clear or does it cloud?

D
My breaker, my keeper

D                   C
My breaker, my keeper
G Em D C G D [Verse 2]
C              G
  Your sorrow, your martyrdom

Em           D                     C        G          D
  Lord knows I harbour some of the same darkness in my mind

        Em                    C               G  D
Now the spaces seem to grow between the light

C             G            Em
  Frightened, fearful words, all that you swear

    D                   C           G         D
You believe, you didn't deserve all you decry

          Em                      C              G  D
Well it's all been burned so deep inside my mind
[Chorus]
Em                          C G   D
   As the torrents bend the tired pines

Bm     Em           C     G    D
I cave in to what I can't make right

Em         C
My shield, my shroud

G                         D
  Does it clear or does it cloud?

   Em      Bm     C
My thread, my way out

        G               D
My only hope and all my doubt

D
My breaker, my keeper
[Bridge]
        Em
I was a shoe horn, I was a crowbar

      C         G
I was your Ohio Blue Tip

      D                   Em
I was your old man, I was a best friend

      C                 D
I was there and that is all

        Em
I was a shoe horn, I was a crowbar

      C         G
I was your Ohio Blue Tip

           D                Em
I was your old man, I was a best friend

      C                 D
I was there and that is all
