Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[Dm][D][Dm][D]

[Verse 1]
The bells ring [D]out
above my [Bb]room
And an[C#dim]nouncement of our [A]loss[D]
And in the act, three men decide
[Bb]An indefin[C#dim]ite epil[A]ogue
[D]

[Verse 2]
My letters have all [Bb]gone
[Eb]A jour[F#]ney [C#dim]that's unsure
[A]A m[D]essage that was rich[Bb]
[F#]A hand [F#m]that was p[A]oor
[D]

[Verse 3]
[A]
[C#dim]Oh, have me,
[A]breath and [D]let me [G]go
?Cause I don't [Gm]want you [Dm]to k[D]now[A]
?Cause I don't [D]want
you to [Dm]know[D][G]
Oh, I don't [F]want [Bb]you, want[F] you,[Bb]
[F]want [Bb]you[Dm][D]
[Dm]

[Verse 4]
[D]
My own description may have [Bb]failed
Torn from [A]pictures that [D]were saved
[Dm]Along [D]with images from wor[Bb]ds
That [A]were saved and
not erased
[D]

[Verse 5]
The shelves arranged
above my [Bb]head
[A]A memory of [D]my fears
Blankets hold the smell of [Bb]life
[A]And soak the many years
[D]

[Verse 6]
[C#dim]
Oh, have me,
[A]breath and [D]let [D]me go[G]
?Cause I don't [D]want you [A]to know
?Cause I don't want you [D]to [A]know
[G]Oh, I don't wan[F]t you[Bb], wan[F]t you,
[Bb]want[F] you[Bb]

[A][D][Eb][A][D][Eb][A][D][Eb][A]
Oh, [D]mission

[Verse 7]
[Eb]ary[D][Bb][Eb][A][D]
[Eb]are you here[A][D][Bb][Eb]

[Verse 8]
[D]Sun doesn't burn when the [Eb]water comes
But water [D]doesn't come like
the [Eb]Eng [Edim]lish rai[Eb]n
They [D]bury their heads
[Eb]for self defense
A marked [D]improvement
through [Eb]dili[Edim]gence[Eb]

[Verse 9]
We [D]are [Eb]alone against [D]our sins
[Eb]Alone against [D]our sins
[Eb]Alone against our [D]sin[Bb] s[Eb][D][Eb]

[Verse 10]
[Eb]Va c[D]ant rooms that are full of m[Eb]en
[D]That sit on the stools [Eb]await[Edim]ing time
[A]Discus[D]sion leads to little sen[Eb]se
[D]They bury their heads [Eb]for self defense

[Verse 11]
We [D]are [Eb]alone against [D]our sins
[Eb]Alone against [D]our sins
[Eb]Alone against [D]our [Bb]sin [Eb]s
