Tom: G

G                 Cadd9
I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagine
G                     Cadd9
Your pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gun
    C                 G       D
And I know you'll be the first to welcome me
   C        G     D
When I climb into eternity
C  G
Oh, oh

G       Cadd9
The forest kept us warm
G             Cadd9
But it doesn't feel like home anymore
    C                 G        D
And I know there's bigger mountains where you are
    C            G     D
And a better climate for my heart
C  G
Oh,oh

(refrão)
C
I've been racing the clock
And I've run out of steam
    G            D
I am ready for my final symphony
C
Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong
    G               D
I am ready to rest in your arms

G          Cadd9
Though many battles I have won
G                  Cadd9
I lost to many friends I could count on
    C                   G        D
And I know they'll be the first to welcome me
   C        G       D
When I parachute into eternity
C  G
Oh, oh

(refrão)
C
I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam
    G            D
I am ready for my final symphony
C
Oh my body is weak
But my soul is still strong
    G               D
I am ready to rest in your arms

(ponte)
G                      C
And the rain beat down on the rooftops
             Em
But there was no sound,
          D
There was no sound
G                        C
And all my friends and family carried me
           Em
They carried me home
         D
Carried me home

(refrão)
C
I've been racing the clock
And I've run out of steam
    G            D
I am ready for my final symphony
C
Oh my body is weak
But my soul is still strong
    G               D
I am ready to rest in your arms

C
I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam
    G            D
I am ready for my final symphony
C
Oh my body is weak
But my soul is still strong
    G               D
I am ready to rest in your arms

C  G
Oh, oh
