Misc Originals – Adam Bamber - Elegy Kite (Guitar)

Gm      Eb             Bb
Walking down this same street,

            F
Not all the pieces fit,

Gm        Eb                 Bb
I made my peace three years ago,

                  Cm
You’ll never be a face I used to know,

Gm          Eb                  Bb
And on this day I’ll say what’s right,

              F            Gm
Don’t want to let go of my kite,

Gm          Eb            Bb
I love them all no matter what,

     Cm             D           F
No regard to what I thought,

               Cm          Gm
I used to be a follower,

             F
Then I was a man,

                     Cm              Gm
I did all I’m not supposed to do,

           F
And yet it played into my hands,

Eb                  Cm                Gm
Two things; I can’t make up my mind,

            Bb                 Eb
To tell the truth or just stay kind,

Eb             Cm                 Gm
After all I’ve done I struggle to find,

             Bb
The words to help me speak my mind,

Gm     Eb               Bb
My… heart is split into three,

                       F                           Gm
I wish there were more people like us; people like me,

Gm       Eb            Bb
And as I look down the aisle,

            Cm               D       F
I watch the sky light up the dial,

               Cm          Gm
I used to be a follower,

             F
Then I was a man,

                     Cm              Gm
I did all I’m not supposed to do,

           F
And then it fell right through my hands,

Eb                  Cm                Gm
Two things; I can’t make up my mind,

            Bb                 Eb
To tell the truth or just stay kind,

Eb             Cm                 Gm
After all I’ve done I struggle to find,

             Bb
The words to help me speak my mind,

Eb        Cm                Gm
Why can’t we just jump this fence,

                      Bb                     Eb
To paint ideas onto a canvas; call it common sense,

Eb        Cm           Gm
Laughing away, at my expense,

                    Bb
Paint ideals onto a canvas through experience,

         Cm  Gm   F
And when all is done,

         Cm      Gm      F
When the battles lost or won,

Eb    Cm
Fly, soar,

Gm           Bb      Eb
I can’t hold on any  more,

Eb        Cm
Watch the lines blur,

Gm
Watch the lines blur,
