The Bell

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
