D:-----2----------2----------------------0-|--------2------------------------------| meant to be that accurate.
A:-2--------0^2--------2--------0^2--------|-3------------------3------------------| the hammer-ons are
E:-0-------------------0-------------------|----------3------------------3---------| essential though.

:::Intro:::

:::Verse:::
Em
Don't place your bets on me
    Em
I'm tired and I'm only
     C          G
With nothing to offer you
C          G
Nothing to offer you

    Em
The pavement stares gray and cold
    Em        
Our lives are a story told
C            G
Coming to an ending
     C            G
It's coming to an ending


:::Chorus:::
C           
How could I turn around?
B7
Face the sound of the bell that shines?
C
Ring it out, trim it out
   F            C                            G (Riff)
To drag me back down... , but I'm not coming home


:::Verse:::
Em
Been out here for so long
    Em
The road just stretches on
     C         G
Till I stop pretending
     C         G
Till I stop pretending

        Em
But the world is an empty frame
    Em
And now you are just a name
     C            G
I'll keep it that way
     C            G
It's staying that way


:::Chorus:::
C           
How could I turn around?
B7
Face the sound of the bell that shines?
C
Ring it out, trim it out
   F            C                            G
To drag me back down... , but I'm not coming home


:::Interlude:::
G (Riff)
I tried hard to be brave
G                      Em
I tried hard not to be afraid
                   G
But trying wasn't enough

G (Riff)
I tried hard to be brave
G                      Em
I tried hard not to be afraid
                   G
But trying wasn't enough


:::Outro:::
    G
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    C            Cmaj7   <-- Cmaj7 is optional
Can you hear the bell?
    C            Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
    G
The bell, the bell

    C            Cmaj7  
Can you hear the bell?
    C            Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
    G
The bell, the bell

         C                           G
From the rust that lies deep in it's throat
       C               G
I hear solemn monotone notes
    C                  G
The danger, the absent floors
       C          G     C          G      D   
In the silence of night he lets me know
C                      G (Riff)    Em
  That I'm not coming home
