Key: D
Introduction: D
Em C G D
Running down along the towns along the shore
Em C G D
When I was sixteen and on my own
Em C G D
No I couldn't tell you what the hell those breaks were for
Em C G D
I was just trying to hear my song
Em C G D
Jimmy found his own sweet sound when he won that free guitar
Em C G D
And we'd all get in the van and play
Em C G D
Life became the Paradox, the Bell, the Rouge et noir
Em C G D
And the stretch of road running to L.A.
Em C
BRIDGE : Pages turning
G D
Pages we were years from learning
Em C G D
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
(PLAY REGULAR "C" and "D" for chorus)
C G D C D
CHORUS : Better bring your own redemtion when you come
C G D C
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
Em C G D
All the world was shining from those hills
Em C G D
With the stars above and the lights below
Em C G D
Among those there to test their fortune and their will
Em C G D
I lost track of the score long ago
BRIDGE, CHORUS
Em F C/E
Childhood comes for me at night
Em F C/E
The voices of my friends
Em F C/E
Your face bathing me in light
Em F C/E
I hope that never ends
Em C
Pages turning
G D
Pages torn and pages burning
Em C G D
Faded pages open in the sun
Chorus (TWICE)
