Chords
Absolute banger from the new C&C album. Play all chords as power chords. There's a little lick at the end of
the bridge that I couldn't quite make out but most of it is here.
Lead guitar plays this simple little lick throughout the verses and at the intro.
I think there's an echo effect being used, otherwise it's a different lick being played I can't make out.

[Intro]
D G Bm A G x2
[Verse]
D Carry them over your shoulders, you fear G The absence, the void you'll cause Bm When you choose to leave them all here A G There's no turning back, it's time that you steer D The wide open stairs back alone at the cusp G Bm The self that you thought you lost, the shine that burned well into rest A G You can't hear my voice cause' I'm not loud enough D G Believe me, when I say Bm A G (palm mute) It's a long way back from here [Pre-chorus] (palm mute) e|-------------|-------------| B|-------------|-------------| G|-----6-7-6---|-----6-7-6---| D|---7-------7-|---7-------7-| A|-5-----------|-5-----------| E|-------------|-------------|
Goodbye for now
[Chorus]
G D Bm A Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough G D Bm A Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear? G D Over and over, the light hits the dusk A Bm D G It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up D A D You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay
[Verse]
D The glistening wet concrete, the heat off the road G The clamoring hands and the bus you call home Bm A G This is it, believe what you want, in this space, I don't fit D The same day repeats with the things that you see G Dirty dressing room carpets and broken TVs Bm A G Is this it? In this water I'll tread til' the day that I'm dead
[Chorus]
G D Bm A Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough G D Bm A Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear? G D Over and over, the light hits the dusk A Bm D G It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up D A D You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay
[Bridge]
D
Goodbye for now, echoes, echoesMile marker, minutes, hours
D G If this is it and there is no more
And you believe that's true
A G It's a long way back from here
D (play same pattern as pre-chorus here twice over)
There's no going home
[Chorus]
G D Bm A Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough G D Bm A Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear? G D Over and over, the light hits the dusk A Bm Dm G It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up D A D You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay
