:::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
