Tuning: Standard EADGBe

Intro: G--


Verse 1:
  G5
I climb the marble 
 E5               C5  D5
stairs that lead away
 G5             E5
Away from everything 
          D5
I used to know
  G5              E5
I try to keep my eyes 
            C5  D5
down on the way
    D5
The way my mother 
C5              D5
told me not to go
     G5          E5
Well all I ever wanted was
  D5
A hand to hold me down
   G5
To keep the sky from 
E5              D5
  swallowing me up
    G5          E5
And all I ever needed 
        D5
was someone to come around
    C5
And tell me that I've 
               C5
suffered long enough


Chorus:
   G5    D5 E5
So take me  away
E5   C5    D5
Find me a home
    G5  D5 E5
I'm on my   way
          E5 D5 E5
I'm on my way


Verse 2:
  G5
I wonder when I'll 
E5             C5   D5
see the stars again
  G5
I thought that they 
    E5          D5
had faded long ago
     G5
With every step I'm 
E5            C5  D5
closer to the end
    D5
I'm climbing cause I 
C5                   D5
don't know where to go
     G5          E5
Well all I ever wanted was
  D5
A place to store my faith
  G5
I thought that I could 
E5              D5
keep it locked away
   G5
It burns my eyes 
   E5
to look at him
    D5
And see the truth inside
    D5
And so I turn my 
             C5
broken face away


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
E5         D5
  I always dreamed of
       C5         D5
Sundays together with you
E5          D5
  Only your echoes can
         C5
break my heart
E5         D5
  I need a hand to hold me
C5            D5
  to keep me on land
E5           D5
  I fear I'm drifting
         C5
too far apart


Verse 3:
     G5          E5
Well all I ever wanted was
  D5
A hand to hold me down
   G5
To keep the sky from 
E5              D5
  swallowing me up
    G5          E5
And all I ever needed 
        D5
was someone to come around
    C5
And tell me that I've 
               C--
suffered long enough


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro: Em- - D5 - Em- (Repeat till fade)
I'm on my way, I'm gone...
