Am
           Am
There were too many years
Under spells awry
                 F
As the fortune appears
            Am
It begins to die
So I've come here to wait
                  F
For the end of it all
                   Am
Till I'm gone from here
    F              Am
I'm gone from here

Am F Am F Am

Am
Children of the grounds
Are making warring sounds
    F
For those outside
     Am
With no care for time
        F                Am
They're full of love for life

Bm
Mother calling out 
To bring the end around
   F#m
We weren't quite done
    G                Bm
She blames it on the sun

      Bm
We're raised in a town
Where they jump on your back and sing
Leave an imprint on your shoulder blades
      F#m
Wanna walk away
          G                    Bm
We're not all the same in this town


We're raised in a town
Where they jump on your back like children
And they leave you none
          F#m
They will leave you none
          G                  Bm
And we're all undone in this town
          G                  Bm
And we're all undone in this town

           Bm
There were too many years
Under spells awry
                 G
As the fortune appears
            Bm
It begins to die
So I've come here to wait
                  G
For the end of it all
                   Bm
Till I'm gone from here
    G              Bm
I'm gone from here
G  Bm
Gone

Gone
