Verse
Ab                     A
You'll be there in the slaughter
Bbm/B5               B
Freeing me when I'm cornered 
          C#m         Cdim
Being arrested by the mind cops
            E                 Adim             C#m
They're the only ones worth changing what you do for
         B          A
And I try to be in line
B7             E
I guide my fate
            Cdim                 C#m
And what it's good for there's no telling
      B
It's blood
        A
It's a flood

Bridge
C#m     B        A    F#dim
I'll know her face a mile away
C#m                B                  A  Am7
She'll take me straight through that gate
C#m     B        A    F#dim
I'll know her face a mile away
C#m                B                    Am7
She'll take me straight through that gate

Verse 2
Ab                 A
Living there in a flower
Bbm/B5                        B
You would'nt have made it without her
                   C#m              
Though she seems to stay in one place
    Cdim
She grows with your life
   E
So cry for time
       Adim                 C#m
What's slow is fast at the same time
   B         A
It comes to life
B7          E
And if it dies
    Cdim          C#m 
You never noticed cause it
    B           A
It slides as it climbs

Chorus
E        Ab   A     C#m
I'll know her face a mile away
E        Ab   C#m      A
I'll know her face a mile away
E        Ab   A     C#m
I'll know her face a mile away
E        Ab   C#m      A
I'll know her face a mile away
E        Ab       A      C#m
And I'll know my pain's a life away
E        Ab       C#m      A
And I'll know my pain's a life away
E        Ab       A      C#m
And I'll know my pain's a life away
E        Ab       C#m      A   C#m  A
And I'll know my pain's a life awaaay
