Tom: Em
INTRO: Am G (4x)
Am Em
Climbing a mountain in darkness
C A11 D
Stranded alone on the ledge
Am Em
Every attempt that I make to hold on
C A11 D
Pushes me nearer the edge
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G Am Em Am G Am Em
Am Em
Sensing the changes impending
C A11 D
My thoughts are diffused by despair
Am Em
I feel like I'm swimming straight up underwater
C A11 D
Desperately racing for air, I'm racing for air
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G Am Em Am G Am
CHORUS:
A
And the chords struck at birth grow more distant
Bm A
Yet, we strike them again and again
F#m A F#m A
And we plead and we pray for a glimmer of day
F#m A Em
As the night folds its wings and descends
D G
Exposing the loose ends
INSTRUMENTAL: Lead break
Am Em
Surrounding myself with possessions
C A11 D
I surely have more than I need
Am Em
I don't know if this is justice hard earned
C A11 D
Or simply a matter of greed, a matter of greed
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G Am G Am G Am Em
CHORUS:
A
And the chords struck at birth grow more distant
Bm A
Yet, we strike them again and again
F#m A F#m A
And we plead and we pray for a glimmer of day
F#m A Em
As the night folds its wings and descends
Am Em Am Em
Exposing the loose ends
CHORUS:
A
And the chords struck at birth grow more distant
Bm A
Yet, we strike them again and again
F#m A F#m A
And we plead and we pray for a glimmer of day
F#m A Em
As the night folds its wings and descends
Am Em Am Em
Exposing the loose ends
