VERSE
E|-----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------| The strumming varies a lot.
B|-------------------------0---------------|--------------0---------1--------0-----| you can pick multiple

D|-----2----------2----------------------0-|--------2------------------------------| meant to be that accurate.
A|-2--------0^2--------2--------0^2--------|-3------------------3------------------| The hammer-ons are

:::Intro:::
:::Verse:::
Em
Don't place your bets on me
Em
I'm tired and I'm only
C G
With nothing to offer you
C G
Nothing to offer you
Em
The pavement stares gray and cold
Em
Our lives are a story told
C G
Coming to an ending
C G
It's coming to an ending
:::Chorus:::
C
How could I turn around?
B7
Face the sound of the bell that shines?
C
Ringing out, shrill and loud
F C G (Riff)
To drag me back down... , but I'm not coming home
:::Verse:::
Em
Been out here for so long
Em
The road just stretches on
C G
Till I stop pretending
C G
Till I stop pretending
Em
But the world is an empty frame
Em
And now you are just a name
C G
I'll keep it that way
C G
It's staying that way
:::Chorus:::
C
How could I turn around?
B7
Face the sound of the bell that shines?
C
Ringing out, shrill and loud
F C G
To drag me back down... , but I'm not coming home
:::Interlude:::
G (Riff)
I tried hard to be brave
G Em
I tried hard not to be afraid
G
But trying wasn't enough
G (Riff)
I tried hard to be brave
G Em
I tried hard not to be afraid
G
But trying wasn't enough
:::Outro:::
G
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
C Cmaj7 -- Cmaj7 is optional
Can you hear the bell?
C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
G
The bell, the bell
C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
G
The bell, the bell
C G
From the rust that lies deep in it's throat
C G
I hear solemn monotone notes
C G
The danger, the ebbs and the flows
C G C G D
In the silence of night he lets me know
C G (Riff) Em
That I'm not coming home
