Aadd11 ( ring )

D
i was so disappointed
Aadd11
you didn’t want me
D
oh , how could it be , eurydice

i was standing beside you
Aadd11
by a frozen sea
D
will you ever get free?

just take all your pain
Aadd11
just put it on me
D
so that you can breathe

when you fly away
Aadd11
will you hit the ground?

it’s an awful sound

D
i know there’s a way
A
we can make ’em pay

think it over and say

i’m never going back again
D
i know there’s a way
A
we can leave today

think it over and say

i’m never going back again

D , Aadd11

D Aadd11
you were born in the little town

before the awful sound
D
started coming down

there’s so much inside you
Aadd11
that you won’t let me see

you fly away from me
D
but it’s an awful sound

when you hit the ground
Aadd11
it’s an awful sound

when you hit the ground

D
i know there’s a way
A
we can make ’em pay

think it over and say

i’m never going back again
D
i know there’s a way
A
we can leave today

think it over

D
we know there’s a price to pay
A
for love in the reflective age
D
i met you up upon a stage
A
our love in a reflective age

oh no , now you’re gone

D a x4 ( la la la la la )
