Chords

[Intro] Bm G D A Bm G D A [Verse]
Bm                              G
Blowing dust from pages of the book of the old ways

D                               A
Tryna fan a fire that's been smoking since they came

Bm                            G
Distant songs powdered bones deep inside the caves

D                       A
Sentimental pieces the eye cannot locate

Bm                             G
Tryna find some reason in the pain of it all

D             A
And time oh time marches on

       Bm
We're walking on broken glass and

G                     D
Tryna get along with peace and every

            A
Piece the centre of it all

Bm                         G
Wounds as deep as canyons hands worked to the bone

D                       A
Sacrifices undenied to get us to this point

Bm                               G
Hand in hand we stumble on and listen to your songs

       D             A                          Bm
And breathe oh we breathe with heavy hearts
[Chorus]
   G          D Bm       G               A
I lay here awake thinking what you would say

D        A            Bm G
You are always in my heart

D        A               Bm   G
Burning strong from the start

D                 A         Bm        G
Now that you're gone your flame burns on

     Bm A              D
From dawn through to dusk
[Solo] Bm G D A Bm G D A Bm G D A Bm G D A [Verse]
Bm                      G
High above the mantle high above the shame

     D
King parrot calls the one he loves

    A
To keep her close and safe

       Bm
Their pride it is their nature

       G
From nature it was raised

    D                                 A
The pride inside of all of us can be extinguished by hate
[Verse]
Bm                 G
Am I not my father living with this curse

D                     A
Am I not my mother a veil over the hurt

Bm                             G
You have shown me freedom, a king within my gates

D                                   A
You have shown me anguish for the things I couldn't change

        Bm                  G
I will lay down my ego for you

           D                                A
But it's hard sometimes to let it all come loose

         Bm                G
We are bound up so tight conditioned from the fight

        D                         A
Generations of wrongs became our truth
[Chorus]
   G          D Bm       G               A
I lay here awake thinking what you would say

D        A            Bm G
You are always in my heart

D        A               Bm   G
Burning strong from the start

D                 A         Bm        G
Now that you're gone your flame burns on

     Bm A              D
From dawn through to dusk
[Solo] Bm G D A Bm G D A Bm G D A Bm G D A [Verse]
Bm              G        D                          A
Please help me see your wisdom on my own when I am weak

               Bm
When there's trouble on every side

       G
When rain clouds fill my mind

          D                               A
When the words become so faded I cannot read

Bm                 G
Help me to fly or help me to fall

       D                    A
Must I do it on my own all alone

          Bm
Days I'm scared for my life

         G
Days I cannot stop my mind

        D                            A
Days I know that I can see but I am blind

             Bm
And when the rain finally falls and

   G                                  D                             A
I have no strength at all and I just wanna slip away and find your soul

Bm                G
Give me strength

D              A
Lord give me strength
