The Agony And The Ecstasy

Romans


Tom: Bb

Bb                              Eb
What is happening to me
N.C.
Don’t recognize these faces
Bb                               Eb
I don’t know where I’ve been but I know that emptiness
Bb              Eb
I have felt it before
                                       Gm              
Thought I was turning a new page, new phase
Cm
These days I don’t know
Bb                       Eb
I’m still stuck in a maze
N.C.
Encased in my own mind
Bb                                     Eb
You’re pulling some of me out but half is left behind
Bb                            Eb                                  Gm                
The separation remains but in a moment so fleeting
             Cm                          Dm
We are meeting for the first time
                              Ab
Connected by the palm of our hands

[Chorus]
              Bb                   Eb
And the agony and the ecstasy
Bb
   Keeps me waiting
    Eb
My body is breaking
       Bb                      Eb
The agony and your empathy
Gm                               Cm
Wait for me whilst I am gone
                 Dm F
It won’t be long

[Verse 2]
Bb                                Eb
  I don’t know who you are but I know I should remember
Bb                                Eb
 My anger grips to the chair
 
The fog is drowning me
Bb                              Eb       
But suddenly there is light
                           Gm                     Cm      
The revelation's elating, bracing, frightening all at once
Bb                    Eb
We don’t have long, just long enough to hold you
Bb                           Eb
Until the shadows return and take the rest of me
Bb                                   Eb
But for this moment, I’m here
                                 Gm 
And I remember you greatly, fiercely
Cm
You and me are one
Dm                                           Ab
Connected by a love that won’t die

[Chorus]
Bb                                 Eb
And the agony and the ecstasy
Bb         
Keeps me waiting
      Eb
My body is breaking
       Bb                      Eb
The agony and your empath
Gm                                Cm
Wait for me whilst I am gone
                  Dm   F
It won’t be long
