Intro
G Bm (x2)
Verse:
G Bm
I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagine
G Bm
Your pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gun
C G D
And I don't know you'll be the first to welcome me
C G D
When I climb into eternity
C G
Oh, oh
G Bm
The forest always kept us warm
G Bm
But it doesn't feel like home anymore
C G D
And I don't know there's bigger mountains where you are
C G D
And a better climate for my heart
C G
Oh, oh
Chorus:
C
I've been racing the clock
And I've run out of steam
Em D
I am ready for my final symphony
C
Oh my body is weak
But my soul is still strong
Em D
I am ready to rest in your arms
Verse:
G Bm
Though many battles I have won
G Bm
I lost too many friends I could count on
C G D
And I don't know they'll be the first to welcome me
C G D
When I parachute into eternity
C G
Oh, oh
Chorus:
C
I've been racing the clock
And I've run out of steam
Em D
I am ready for my final symphony
C
Oh my body is weak
But my soul is still strong
G D
I am ready to rest in your arms
Bridge: (x2)
G C
And the rain beat down on the rooftops
Em
But there was no sound
D
There was no sound
G C
And all my friends and family carried me
Em
They carried me home
D
They Carried me home
Chorus:
C
Oh, I've been racing the clock
And I've run out of steam
Em D
I am ready for my final symphony
C
Oh my body is weak
But my soul is still strong
Em D
I am ready to rest in your arms
