[Intro]
F Am F G Am
F Am F G Am
[Verse 1]
F Am
Waiting in the wings your courage sings before you falter
F G Am
It's just another way to say what's there but never shows
F Am
It's just another day to lay your sins before the altar
F G Am
And where it's going to end this time around nobody knows
[Verse 2]
F Am
Every time it seems that you have gained an understanding
F G Am
Those devils at your heels reach up and try to tip the scales
F Am
Waking from a dream you see it's all been done without you
F G Am
And every vain attempt to make it stay is destined to fail
[Chorus]
Am G G F Am F Am G Am
Fu-ry ra-ges through your restless days
Am G F Am F Am
Shades of time that's gone before
Am G G F Am F Am G Am
Empty cages where the prisoner plays
Fmaj7 E
'Til the door swings closed behind for evermore
G Am G Am
Evermore Evermore
[Instrumental]
F Am F G Am
F Am F G Am
[Verse 3]
Am F Am
Long before we come of age we yearn to leave the garden
F G Am
And wrestle with a myth the hand of fate has faintly drawn
Am F Am
But somewhere on the way we feel our hearts begin to harden
F G Am
And see just as we learn to turn around the garden is gone
[Chorus]
Am G G F Am F Am G Am
Fu-ry ra-ges through your restless days
Am G F Am F Am
Shades of time that's gone before
Am G G F Am F Am G Am
Empty cages where the prisoner plays
Fmaj7 E
'Til the door swings closed behind for evermore
