Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

Difficulty: Novice


Intro:
Dm  F  G  Dm

Verse 1:
Dm       F     G      Dm
Running through fields of flowers and smoke
     F  G       Dm
Leaving behind all that we've built
         F       G       Dm
The garden now in ashes and the roof is caving in
       F   G       Dm
A broken hourglass; Blood running thin

Chorus:
     Dm  F G     Dm
For your life... come to my side
       F G      Dm
For your life... take me from here
       F G      Dm
For your life... open up your heart
         F   G        Dm
Let me hear your voice; Let me hear you sing

Verse 2:
 Dm      F    G      Dm
I wasn't on my way down to the marketplace
       F      G         Dm
Wasn't at the schoolyard, where our children play
        F       G       Dm
I wasn't in our home standing in the living room
         F       G    Dm
Or writing you a note that I'll be back soon

Chorus:
     Dm  F G     Dm
For your life... come to my side
       F G      Dm
For your life... take me from here
       F G      Dm
For your life... open up your heart
         F   G        Dm
Let me hear your voice; Let me hear you sing
A7         Dm  F  G
Oh, let me hear you sing
Dm            F  G Dm
Let me hear you sing

Solo:
Dm  F  G  Dm

Verse:
 Dm       F   G      Dm
I don't recognize myself that much anymore
        F      G      Dm
Memories in my pockets and coins on the floor
        F     G     Dm
All I smell is smoke and all I ever see
          F     G        Dm
Is the look in you eyes that look in you eyes

Chorus:
     Dm  F G        Dm
For your life... come back to my side
       F G      Dm
For your life... take me from here
       F G      Dm
For your life... open up your heart
       F G        Dm
For your life... let me hear your voice
       F G      Dm
For your life... open up your heart
       F G        Dm
For your life... let me hear your voice
A7         Dm  F  G
Oh, let me hear you sing
Dm            F  G Dm
Let me hear you sing


Note:
The song is in 3/4 time, but there is some 2-against-3 polyrhythm going on throughout the whole song,
just so you don't get confused by the rhythm.

If you want to improvise the solos over the progression, the solos are mostly in D dorian.
