Been runnin' aw[E]ay
so long[A] from the da[E]y [C#m]
Into the str[E]ange night of [A]stone
To fade awa[E]y [C#m]
As the li[E]ght is gently
[A]Bleedin' out of my sou[E]l [C#m]
Penet[E]ratin' the evening
As I [A]ride
[E]On this endless road
BRIDGE:
But you can't [E]turn back the ti[G#m]me
It [A]always gonna [B]wait on the line
CHORUS:
Some may wish [E]never to be [G#m]born
[A]Wast[E]in' the dawn [C#m]
Like a rose [E]growin' from the Christ's th[G#m]orn
[A]Wast[B]in' the daw[C#m]n
VERSE 2
Been waitin' for you for so long
Little bird of preyTo fly me higher
To the brighter dayWhere the lizard lingers long
Under the sunForgetting the night
