Rise Against – Torches (Guitar)

E                             G      D               E
On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door,

                            C                    D               E
On windy nights I can smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shore

                          G         D                 E
The traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day

                       C                   D         G      A
But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting

E                              G              A
And if my hand could block the sun,  (whoooah ohhhhhhh)

E                 G        A
Would we ever wake up?

E                              G
And if I turned back all these clocks,

A                  C
Would that be time enough?

E                        G     D              E
I can't remember exactly when this longing began

                     C         D                   E
But I know it wasn't before the day you touched my hand,

                        G           D             E
Laugh and shout in blissful daze and numbers are exchanged,

                       C                   D        G        A
But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting

E                              G              A
And if my hand could block the sun,  (whoooah ohhhhhhh)

E                 G        A
Would we ever wake up?

E                              G
And if I turned back all these clocks,

A                  C          D
Would that be time enough?

            E           G          D
So put your hands where I can see them,

E                      G            D
And shut your mouth, I know who you are,

     E                             D      E                   G            D
In a world void of feeling or heart I know that we are the torches in the dark

E
Let's break this down, let's make this count,

D                                E                    D
Let's leave this one-horse town, no better time than now [repeat bridge]

E                                   G                D              E
The angels dance like feathers float, they're here to see and to be seen,

                                      G             D                 E
The clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings,

                       D G     D
Once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave

E                      C                   D          G    A
But I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting

E                              G              A
And if my hand could block the sun,  (whoooah ohhhhhhh)

E                 G        A
Would we ever wake up?

E                              G
And if I turned back all these clocks,

A                  C          D
Would that be time enough?

                  E  G  A
Will we ever wake up?
