[Intro 1]
[Am]
[G][D][Am]
[G][D][Am]
[G][D][Am]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
Saw no [Am]reason to return
Left the [G]bridges there to burn,
won't build [D]more
And the [Am]miracles were buried [D]with the coal
[G]Furnace bound for[D]evermore
If you [Am]wanted some forgiveness
To re[G]flect upon the hands that only
[D]prayed if just to feel
But your [Am]history ain't my future
I'd [G]better get my shoulder to [D]the wheel

[Verse 2]
[D]
Coz I heard the news[Am],
made out [G]the signs, so I stayed [D]away
Once more with feel[Am]ing and a curse
of [G]friends until my last day
[D]

[Verse 3]
She be[Am]came a foreign
princess for [G]a day
Though the slipper always [D]slides
Lost her [Am]loved ones to the army
Had an [G]in terest in successes
on both [D]sides
[G]And the [Am]son she tried to ruin
raised a [G]ruin for himself
Ain't that [D]the truth, too slight to stick
Keep the [Am]engine ticking over
For the [G]memory I have is not so quick
[D]

[Verse 4]
Coz I heard the news[Am],
made out [G]the signs, so I stayed [D]away
Once more with feel[Am]ing and a curse of [G]friends

[Interlude 1]
until my last day
[D][G][Am][G]
[D][Am][G]
[D]
[Am]Handed

[Verse 5]
[F]out the evening news
Leaving dignity and clues
between [G]the page
[C]Had some [F]heroes long ago
When the curse you came
to know was in its [G]cage
[C]Still [Am]you gave it what you could behind
a [G]mask you understood
Before it [D]cracked and out you came
It's be[Am]coming of your legend
That you [G]never looked for
someone else to blame
[D]

[Verse 6]
Coz I [Am]heard the news, made out [G]the signs,
so I stayed [D]away
Once more with feel[Am]ing and a curse
[G]of friends until my last day
[D]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Five leaves [F]left to light the fuses
And then split the bags
of sand too far to [G]see
Judging [F]only from the whispers
Painting pictures with no colours absently
[G]There's no [Am]shrine to
keep pretending to
I'm [G]thinking on my feet, it helps me [D]hear
I've got mouths to feed
Blow me [Am]down from in the
branches
I've heard [G]all the sorry
tales I could need
[D]

[Verse 8]
Coz I [Am]heard the news, made out [G]the signs,
so I stayed [D]away
Once more [Am]with feeling and a curse
of [G]friends until my last day
[D]
