Capo: 2nd fret
[Verse]
Em
Don't place your bets on me
Em
I'm tired and I'm only
C G
With nothing to offer you
C G
Nothing to offer you
Em
The pavement stares gray and cold
Em
Our lives are a story told
C G
Coming to an ending
C G
It's coming to an ending
[Chorus]
C
How could I turn around?
B7
Face the sound of the bell that chimes?
C
Ringing out, shrill and loud
F C G
To drag me back down... , but I'm not coming home
[Verse]
Em
Been out here for so long
Em
The road just stretches on
C G
Till I stop pretending
C G
Till I stop pretending
Em
But the world is an empty frame
Em
And now you are just a name
C G
I'll keep it that way
C G
It's staying that way
[Chorus]
C
How could I turn around?
B7
Face the sound of the bell that chimes?
C
Ringing out, shrill and loud
F C G
To drag me back down... , but I'm not coming home
[Interlude]
G
I tried hard to be brave
G Em
I tried hard not to be afraid
G
But trying wasn't enough
G
I tried hard to be brave
G Em
I tried hard not to be afraid
G
But trying wasn't enough
[Outro]
G
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
G
The bell, the bell
C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
G
The bell, the bell
C G
From the rust that lies deep in it's throat
C G
I hear solemn monotone notes
C G
The danger, the ebbs and the flows
C G C G D
In the silence of night he lets me know
C G Em
That I'm not coming home
Don't place your bets on me
I'm tired and I'm lonely
With nothing to offer you
Nothing to offer you
The pavement stares gray and cold
Our lives are a story told
Coming to an ending
It's coming to an ending
How could I turn around?
Face the sound of the bell that chimes?
Ringing out, shrill and loud
To drag me back down
But I'm not coming home
Been out here for so long
The road it just stretches on
Till I stop pretending
Till I stop pretending
But the world is an empty frame
And now you are just a name
I'll keep it that way
It's staying that way
How could I turn around?
Face the sound of the bell that chimes?
Ringing out, shrill and loud
To drag me back down
But I'm not coming home
I tried hard to be brave
I tried hard not to be afraid
But trying wasn't enough
I tried hard to be brave
I tried hard not to be afraid
But trying wasn't enough
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Can you hear the bell?
Can you hear the bell?
The bell, the bell
Can you hear the bell?
Can you hear the bell?
The bell, the bell
From the rust that lies deep in its throat
I hear solemn monotone notes
The danger, the ebbs, and the flows
In the silence of night it lets me know
That I'm not coming home
