[Verse 1]
As I [Em]have watched you pass
like [G]a shooting [D]star. Like the [Em]sun, I wonder just [D]where [G]you are.
I had [Em]your back; I thought that [G]you [D]had mine. Guess
[G]your faith couldn't [D]stand the test [Em]of time.
So bail away your sinking ship [G]of [D]pain. Flushing[Em]
down what's stood for [D]down [G]the drain.
Sheath [Em]your tongue, your words mean noth[G]ing
[D]at all. I [G]will still be there for [D]you when [Em]you fall.
It [G]doesn't matter when you ran [Em]your race.
It's not [G]about how you set [Em]your pace.
[G]In the end will you be [Em]true? And if you can't,
[G]I'm forgetting you[Em].
And I have prayed as you passed like [G]fall[D]ing rain. Once [Em]a gem,
then turned to [D]a speck [G]of grain.
Don't give [Em]it up,
blood is thick[G]er [D]than [G]wine. Is there any [D]reason to [Em]your rhyme?
Walk the walk and speak what you [G]mean [D]to say.
Face [Em]the facts. Keep walking d[D]ay b[Em]y day.
[G]Let the[Em] past die with the trou[G]bles of the[D]
morn. [G]Say [D]farewell to fields [Em]of thorns.
It [G]doesn't matter when you ran your [Em]race.
[G]It's not about how you set [Em]your pace.
[G]In the end will you be [Em]true? If you can[G]'t,
I'm forgetting [Em]you.[Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][G][Em]
Briars of [Am]blackthorns! [Em]Briar[Am]s of[G] bl[Em]ackthorns![Am][Em]
[Am]Bria[G]rs o[Em]f blackthorns![Am] Briars of bl[Em]ackth[G]or[Em]ns!
[Am]It d[Em]oesn'[Am]t mat[G]ter how you ran
[Em]your race. It doesn't [G]matter how you set [Em]the pace.
In [G]the end will you be [Em]true? If you can't,
[G]I'm forgetting you[Em].
As I have watched you pass like a shooting star. Like the sun,
I wonder just where you are.
I had your back; I thought that you had mine. Guess

[Outro 1]
your faith couldn't stand the test of time.
