Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G]
[Em][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Don't place
your bets on me
I'm tired and I'm lonely
With [C]nothing to [G]of fer you
[C]Nothing to [G]offer you

[Verse 2]
The [Em]pavement stares gray and cold
Our lives are a story told
[C]Coming to an [G]ending
It's [C]coming to an [G]ending

[Verse 3]
[C]How could I turn around?
[B]Face the sound of the bell that shines?
[C]Ring it out, trim it out
To [F]drag me back [C]down

[Interlude 1]
But I'm not coming home
[G]
[Em][G]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Been out here for so long
The road just stretches on
Till [C]I stop pretend[G]ing
Till [C]I stop pre[G]tending

[Verse 5]
But the [Em]world is an empty frame
And now you are just a name
I'll [C]keep it that [G]way
It's [C]staying that [G]way

[Verse 6]
[C]How could I turn around?
[B]Face the sound of the bell that shines?
[C]Ring it out, trim it out
To [F]drag me back [C]down

[Interlude 2]
But I'm not coming home
[G]
[Em][C][G]

[Verse 7]
[G]I tried hard to be brave
I tried hard not to be [Em]afraid
But trying [C]wasn't enough
[G]

[Verse 8]
[G]I t[C]ried h[G]ard to be brave
I [C]tried [G]hard not to be [Em]afraid
[G]But trying was[C]n't enough
[G]

[Verse 9]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Can [C]you hear the bell?
Can you hear the bell?
The [G]bell, the bell

[Verse 10]
Can [C]you hear the bell?
Can you hear the bell?
The [G]bell, the bell

[Verse 11]
From the [C]rust that lies
deep in it's [G]throat
I hear [C]solemn [G]tones
[C]The danger, the absent [G]floors
In the [C]si lence of [G]night he
[C]lets me kno[G]w[D]
[C]That I'm not coming home
[G]
