Verse 1:
Eb5
Time drifts through the sky
          C#5
Without a reason why
                 B5
We walk past the flowers
Don't stop for a breath
               Bb5
Until they're above our heads
   F5    E5  Eb5
We used to fight
Have we made amends?
         C#5
Father I just can't tell
              B5
Watching you spent 
the time you have left
             Bb5
Trapped in a cold blue bed


Refrain 1:
      F5     E5     Eb5
In darkness we'll rest
Count the days down 
   C#5
to one last breath
                  B5
In darkness we'll rest
                   Bb5
So forgive what you can't forget


Verse 2:
F5 E5  Eb5
  We said that we would call
              C#5
But we never spoke at all
                  B5
The years drifted by
We've built up these
walls For reasons
     Bb5
that seem so small
        F5  E5   Eb5
If this is the end
let's bury the past
This might be our
C#5
one last chance
           B5
Together until the
last grain of sand
Has dropped from
    Bb5
the hourglass


Chorus:
   B5 C#5       F#5
So o-pen your eyes
Open your eyes and
         C#5
don't forget to pray
               B5
If we lose the fight
           Bb5 Ab5
If we lose the fight
your spirit will
Eb5         C#5 F#5 C#5
live through        me
                  F#5
It's time we make right
It's time we make right
             C#5
the pages of history
         B5
Until we find
      Bb5 Ab5
Until we  find
               Eb5 C#5 F#5
a cure for the e--
    C#5
--nemy
