INTRO : E5 , C5 , G5 , D5 
(TWICE) 
 

E5        C5              G5               D5 
  Running down along the towns along the shore 
E5           C5                 G5         D5 
  When I was sixteen and on my own 
E5              C5                 G5                      D5 
  No I couldn't tell you what the hell those breaks were for 
E5           C5                 G5           D5 
  I was just trying to hear my song 
 

E5 , C5 , G5 , D5 
(TWICE) 
 

E5                C5                       G5             D5 
  Jimmy found his own sweet sound when he won that free guitar 
E5             C5                   G5            D5 
  And we'd all get in the van and play 
E5                C5            G5                  D5 
  Life became the Paradox, the Bell, the Rouge et noir 
E5                   C5               G5            D5 
  And the stretch of road running to L.A. 
 

        E5            C5 
BRIDGE :  Pages turning 
        G5               D5 
          Pages we were years from learning 
        E5                  C5                     G5       D5 
          Straight into the night our hearts were flung 
 
(PLAY REGULAR 
" C5 " and " D5 " for chorus) 
 
                 C5                G5       D5           C5     D5 
CHORUS :  Better bring your own redemtion when you come 
                 C5                G5    D5         C5 
          To the barricades of heaven where I'm from 
 

E5 , C5 , G5 , D5 (Twice) 
 
E5  C5               G5                  D5 
  All the world was shining from those hills 
E5                C5                    G5        D5 
  With the stars above and the lights below 
E5              C5                   G5               D5 
  Among those there to test their fortune and their will 
E5       C5                       G5         D5 
  I lost track of the score long ago 
 
 BRIDGE, CHORUS 
 

E5         F5          C5 
  Childhood comes for me at night 
E5           F5       C5 
  The voices of my friends 
E5           F5      C5 
  Your face bathing me in light 
E5            F5      C5 
  I hope that never ends 
 

E5 , C5 , G5 ,  D5 (Twice) 
 
E5        C5 
  Pages turning 
  G5                D5 
  Pages torn and pages burning 
E5             C5           G5        D5 
  Faded pages open in the sun 
 
Chorus (TWICE)
