A    E        A      E     A        E            B
I learned to say goodbye, to say goodbye too young
A     E     A        E
I learned to duck from words
A       E       B        A
like bullets from a gun

A                C#m   B                E
how long can you pray, how long can you pray
E                       A
and still not see a change
C#m     B       A                    A
I faithfully remain, faithfully remain

A    E        A    E
some things, some things
A   E                   B
you have to let be lost
A         E     A       E
some battles, some battles
A       E            B      A
you have to leave unfought

A                        C#m
then the truth just wastes away
C#m                     B
in all we dare not to say
E                    A
and in all we can't explain
C#m   B            A                     A
but I faithfully remain, faithfully remain

( C#m  E   A   E   C#m   B   A )

A       E
Now I'm afraid
A   E       A    E
once again, once again
A               B
it has come to this
A           E
when it all goes dark
A        E
nothing stays the same
A       E           B   A
now I'm only what I miss

A           C#m
and my memories
C#m
they turn to tears
B             E             A
they turn to fire blood and pain
C#m     B          A             A
and I faithfully remain, I faithfully remain
C#m   B             A            A            E
and I faithfully remain, I faithfully remain
