Intro:    G      D      Em      C

G                                D
 Everyday I get a little bit closer
            Em                               C
 To the resolution that I am not yet bulletproof
          G
 Oh, the battle within rages on and on
      D
 The neighborhood seemed so small
       Em
 The church on the corner

 Has steps good for waiting
 C
 I should go in

 But I'm tired of praying
     A7
 And anyway


    C              G
 I can't stop the bells
  D                         Em
 Ringing since you've been gone
     C                  G
 I thought I was moving on
     D                  Em
 But I think of nothing else
     C               G
 I can't break the spell
     B7                  Em
 I still hear you every place
           C                  G
 Can't forget what I saw in your face
        D
 I know every inch so well

 G
 I can't stop the bells
                 D
 Can't stop the bells

 Can't stop the bells
 Em
 I can't stop the bells
                 C
 Can't stop the bells


G                                    D
 And it doesn't even matter what's going on
                  Em
 The sound in my head is constant
                     C
 And I can't turn it off
          G
 Oh, and patience is hard

 When you just don't know
   D
 Where all the waiting is taking you
       Em
 The church on the corner

 Torn down in December
       C
 That kiss in the doorway

 I still won't surrender
     A7
 And anyway


    C              G
 I can't stop the bells
  D                         Em
 Ringing since you've been gone
     C                  G
 I thought I was moving on
     D                  Em
 But I think of nothing else
     C               G
 I can't break the spell
     B7                  Em
 I still hear you every place
             C                     G
 You don't know what you left in your wake
     D
 I guess I'm not so well


C                        G
 I hope you feel what I feel for a moment
       D          Em
 Just see what I see
C                        G
 Then you'd know that I won't find peace
    A                      (G)
 Until you'll come back to me


 C      G      D      Em


     C                  G
 I thought I was moving on
     D                  Em
 But I think of nothing else
    C              G
 I can't stop the bells
     B7                  Em
 I still hear you every place
           C                  G
 Can't forget what I saw in your face
        D
 I know every inch so well

G
 I can't stop the bells
                 D
 Can't stop the bells

 Can't stop the bells
 Em
 I can't stop the bells
                 C       G
 Can't stop the bells
