(Capo on 3)

Intro.:  |(Bm)(A/C#)|(D)  |(Bm)(A/C#)|(D)

She had a (Bm)smile that would make you put your (A)faith in the Lord (D)
She was the (Bm)unspoken truth I was (A)lookin' for (D) (G)
I was a (Bm)bitter-hearted twister, (A) I was a refugee (D)
Just a (G)scared little boy (A)lost at sea (D)

She said she (Bm)kissed my lips and (A)she just knew (D)
And in her (Bm)sunset eyes I (A)saw it too (D) (G)
But this (Bm)world has a way of (A)breaking you down (D)
'Til the (G)fire that burned now (A)can't be found (D)

(Chorus)
I guess (G)no one really knows the (A)price that's paid (D)
And there (G)ain't no heart that (A)goes scot-free (D)
I (G)hear the bells ringing (A)from far away (D) (F#m/C#) (Bm) (A)
And the (G)future ain't what it (A)used to be

Inst.:  |(Bm)(A)|(D)  |(Bm)(A)|(D)

(Bm)When it turned to dust, I (A)cannot (A/C#) say (D)
I guess she (Bm)lost her faith when I (A)lost my (A/E) way (D)
Though I (Bm)loved her more than I (A)dreamed I (A/C#) could (D)
A (G)coward now stands where a (A)hero stood (D)

Repeat Chorus

Inst.:  |(Bm)(A)|(D)  |(Bm)(A)|(D)  |
        |(G)(A)|(D)(F#m/C#)(Bm)(A)|(G)(A)|(D)  |(D)

To the (Bm)anguished tears that (A)sunset cried (D) (G)
She couldn't (G)give anymore, her (A)love (A/C#)ran (A/G) (A/E)out (D) -----
