Standard, Capo 4


Intro:  C   C/B   C/A   G   F   G  X2


Verse:

C       C/B    C/A        G         F       G 
I went on the search for something true
C       C/B    C/A        G         F       G 
I was almost there when I found you
C       C/B    C/A      G          
Sooner then my fate was wrote
  F                   G 
A perfect blade, it slit my throat
    C       C/B   C/A       G       F       G 
And beads of lust released into the air
     F       G
When I awoke you were standing there


Break:  C   C/B   C/A   G   F   G    X2 


Verse:

C      C/B    C/A       G       F            G 
I was on the mend when I fell through
    C     C/B      C/A      G   F       G 
The sky around was anything but blue
C        C/B    C/A        G         
I found as I regained my feet
    F               G 
A wound across my memory
     C   C/B     C/A        G       F         G 
That no amount of stitches would repair
    F           G
But I awoke and you were standing there


Break:  C  G/B  F  G  X2


Chorus:
          C      C/B    C/A   G       F               G 
There's no fortune at the end of the road that has no end
           C        C/B      C/A           
There's no returning to the spoils
G            F                      G 
Once you've spoiled the thought of them
            C      C/B    C/A          
There's no falling back asleep
 G          F               G 
Once you've wakened from the dream
       C      C/B      C/A      G     
Now I'm rested and I'm ready,
     F             G 
I'm rested and I'm ready to begin

C      C/B    C/A       G       F         G      
                                       I'm ready to begin

Break:  C  C/B  C/A   G   F    G 


Verse:

C      C/B    C/A           G       F           G 
I went on the search for something real
C       C/B    C/A     G       F                G 
Traded what I know for how I feel
        C      C/B     C/A      G       
But the ceiling and the walls collapsed
F                  G 
Upon the darkness I was trapped
    C      C/B    C/A           G         F         G 
And as the last of breath was drawn from me
    F                  G 
The light broke in and brought me to my feet


Break:  C  C/B  C/A   G   F    G 


Chorus:
           C      C/B    C/A   G       F               G 
There's no fortune at the end of the road that has no end
           C        C/B      C/A   
There's no returning to the spoils
G           F                      G 
Once you've spoiled the thought of them
           C      C/B    C/A          
There's no falling back asleep
 G          F               G 
Once you've wakened from the dream
       C      C/B      C/A      G       
Now I'm rested and I'm ready,
        F                G 
I'm rested and I'm ready
       C      C/B      C/A      G     
Yeah I'm rested and I'm ready
    F              G 
I'm rested and I'm ready
        C      C/B      C/A     G   
Yeah I'm rested and I'm ready
    F             G 
I'm rested and I'm ready
