C#m E A
C#m
Forgive me now
E A
For I have sold my soul for gold
C#m
Washed up on shore
E A
A thousand miles away from home
C#m E A
Just as I begin to settle into these skin and bones, alone
C#m E A
I find the answers to questions I have never known
[Chorus]
C#m
Is there life beyond the grave?
E A C#m
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
E A
There must be a better way
[Verse]
C#m E A
Running from time to try and keep myself alive
C#m E A
Release my pride to keep from pushing the light aside
C#m E
Now as I begin to let this in
A
I must keep the best in mind
C#m E A
And remove myself from the things that are wasting my time
[Chorus 2]
C#m
I know that one of these days
E A C#m
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
E A C#m
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?
E A
I know these words won't hold any weight
C#m
But please don't turn away
A
Don't turn away from me
[Bridge]
C#m
Is there life beyond the grave?
E A
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
B
There must be a better way
C#m
I know that one of these days
E A
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
B
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?
C#m
Is there life beyond the grave?
E A
And will I make the same mistakes, day after day?
B
There must be a better way
C#m
I know that one of these days
E A
I'll finally see you face to face at the golden gates
B
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave?
[Outro]
C#m
Forgive me now
E A
For I have sold my soul for gold
C#m
Washed up on shore
E A
A thousand miles away from home
C#m E A
Just as I begin to settle into these skin and bones, alone
C#m E A
I find the answers to questions I have never known
[Alternative Outro]

For I have sold my soul for gold
F# A
Washed up on shore

A thousand miles away from home
C#m B E
Just as I begin to settle in to these skin and bones, alone

I find the answers to questions I have never known
