Chords

[Verse 1]
Am             F         C            C/B
 This lonely exsistence paves the way

Am       G                    F
 For the heart of hearts must beat be brave

Am          F               C      C/B
 While this quiet lightning storm

Am          G               F
 Wrecks the harvest gold we tried to sow
[Chorus 1]
      C
So it begins

    Em                  F              C
The way the blood still dances beneath the skin

       Em             F               Am
As the messenger from hell says we're bound to win

       G                       F
As the days they come, but the years they go

       Dm            F                      C
So take care of your freedom, they'll never know.
[Verse 2]
Am            F                    C     C/B
 I sit on the wing for a blackbird song

Am          G                   F
 To tell me where and when this all went wrong

Am              F              C       C/B
 There's no resolution without remorse

Am          G                    F
 Ignorance, bliss, defend, let's stay the course
[Chorus 2]
         C
Puncture the skin

    Em                F              C
And see the blood run cold on desert sand

     Em                F              C
Come hear the men from mothers with childless hands

       G                      F
As the days they come but the years they go

    Dm               F                     C
So take care of your freedom they'll never know

          Dm           F                 Am
Take good care of your freedom they'll never know
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] [Chorus 3]
C
Take what you give

  Em                  F            C
Until there's nothing left but forever live

    Em                 F              Am
And night descends on shadows without their kill

       G                    F
As the days they come and the years they go

        Dm            F                    C
So take care of your freedom they'll never know

          Dm                  F                    Am
Yeah take good care of your freedom they'll never know
[Outro]
     G                      F
Cuz the days they come... but the years they go

        Dm            F                     Am
So take care of your freedom they'll never know
