Key: D
Introduction:
D C
If you could see through the banner of the sun
C Bm
Into eternity's eyes like a vision reaching down to you
D
Would you turn away?
D C
What if it knew you by your name?
C Bm D
What kind of words would cut through the clutter of the whirlwinds of these days?
Pre-Chorus
G C
I tried going against my own soul's warning
G Em D
And in the end, something just didn't feel right
C D Em Bm
Oh, I tried diving, even though the sky was storming
Bm C
Thunder heads were forming
D
But then I thought I could fly
C
And when I hit the ground
C
It made a messed up sound
Bm D
And it kept on rattling through my days
C
And cutting up the nights like a goddamn knife
Bm D
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
D
I just wanted to get back to where you are
C Bm D2x
Pre-Chorus
G C
I tried going against my own soul's warning
G Em D
And in the end, something just didn't feel right
C D Em Bm
Oh, I tried running from the memory and the mourning
Bm C
But the penalty kept on pouring
D
And now I think I know why
C
'Cause when I hit the ground
C
It made a messed up sound
Bm D
And it kept on rattling through my days
C
And cutting up the nights like a goddamn knife
Bm D
And it got me thinking no matter how far
D
I just wanted to get back to where you are
