Chords

[Verse 1]
Eb      Bb                  Cm      G
 In the white washed cancer ward

Eb       Bb                Cm     G
 With my hot blood running wild

G          Bb               G
 I see the pain behind your eyes

      Bb
But I search for reason

G        Bb              G
 And the knowing and the fear

       Bb
Of the passing season

Eb                              C
Now, please give me strength to cope
And to keep our secret
Eb                          C
 Please give me strength to cope
[Chorus]
                  Cm
But the things we love

            Fm
They remain here still

                 Cm
There is time to wait

                     Bb
And there is time to kill

                        Fm
I see your outstretched hands

               Cm
To the closing door

           Eb         Bb           Cm
But it's a far better thing that I do

          Bb     F
Than I've done before
[Verse 2]
Eb               Bb               Cm    G  Eb
So it seems that murder is not so hard

           Bb                   Cm   Cm  G      
I've eaten flesh and blood each day

         Dm                   G 
And if I believe the things I write

            Bb             G
Through the passing season

            Dm          G
Then with a rifle in my hands

           Bb                     Eb  
And with a thousand reasons, I'll wait

              Em
Far above the ground

                           Eb
In the the summer sunshine

                    Eb
And history changes now, forever
[Chorus]
                  Cm
But the things we love

            Fm
They remain here still

                 Cm
There is time to wait

                     Bb
And there is time to kill

                        Fm
I see your outstretched hands

               Cm
To the closing door

           Eb         Bb           Cm
But it's a far better thing that I do

          Bb     F
Than I've done before

           Eb         Bb           Cm
But it's a far better thing that I do

          Bb     F
Than I've done before
[Chorus]
                    Cm
So of the things we love

                 F
They remain here still

                 Cm
There is time to wait

                     Bb
And there is time to     kill

                        F
I see your outstretched hands

                Cm   
Through the closing door

           Eb         Bb           Cm
But it's a far better thing that I do

          Bb     F
Than I've done before 
[Outro]
          Eb         Bb           Cm
So it's a far better thing that I do

          Bb     F
Than I've done before 

            Eb         Bb           Cm
Yeah it's a far better thing that I do

          Bb     F
Than I've done before
