[Intro]

[Verse]
Ab Fm Ab Fm                         
■  ■  ■  Don't place your bets on me
    Fm                  
I'm tired and I'm lonely
     Db      Ab          
With nothing to offer you
Db      Ab          
Nothing to offer you
    Fm                           
The pavement stares gray and cold
    Fm                    
Our lives are a story told
Db        Ab       
Coming to an ending
     Db        Ab       
It's coming to an ending


[Chorus]
Db                     
How could I turn around
C7                                    
Face the sound of the bell that shines
Db                     
Ring it out trim it out
   Gb           Db  
To drag me back down
                   Ab  
But I'm not coming home

Fm Ab Fm                       
■  ■  Been out here for so long
    Fm                    
The road just stretches on
       Db   Ab        
Till I stop pretending
       Db   Ab        
Till I stop pretending
        Fm                     
But the world is an empty frame
        Fm                 
And now you are just a name
          Db      Ab 
I'll keep it that way
     Db           Ab 
It's staying that way


[Chorus]
Db                     
How could I turn around
C7                                    
Face the sound of the bell that shines
Db                     
Ring it out trim it out
   Gb           Db  
To drag me back down
                   Ab  
But I'm not coming home

[Bridge]
Fm Ab                         
■  ■  I tried hard to be brave
                       Fm    
I tried hard not to be afraid
                  Ab    
But trying wasn't enough


[Chorus]
        Ab              
I tried hard to be brave
        Ab                   
I tried hard not to be afraid
    Db            Ab    
But trying wasn't enough
    Ab             
I'm sorry I'm sorry
        Db           
Can you hear the bell
        Db           
Can you hear the bell
    Ab           
The bell the bell
    Db               
Can you hear the bell
        Db           
Can you hear the bell
    Ab           
The bell the bell
              Db                     Ab    
From the rust that lies deep in it's throat
       Db     Ab   
I hear solemn tones
    Db                Ab    
The danger the absent floors
       Db         Ab       Db      Ab   Eb
In the silence of night he lets me know ■ 
Db                  Ab   Fm
That I'm not coming home ■
