The D at the end of each line carries over for the first few beats of the next line.
[Intro]
C9 G D x2
[Verse 1]
C9 G D
I see a bird soar through the clouds outside my window
C9 G D
Smell the fresh paint of the comfort shade on this new fall day
C9 G D
Feel the coffee surge through morning veins from half an hour ago
C9 G D
Hear the sound of shots and screams out in the hallway
[Instrumental]
C9 G D x2
[Verse 2]
C9 G D
Spent my last weekend camping out again down the road a-ways
C9 G D
Just me and Joan and a couple of friends on this beautiful trail
C9 G D
Watch the sun slip down behind the mountain stream in these great cascades
C9 G D
Saw a mighty hawk swoop down upon a stream to devour its prey
[Bridge]
Em G D
And now we're moving chairs in some panic mode to barricade the doors
Em G D
As my heart rate surges on adrenaline and nerves, I feel I've been here before
Em G D
I made it back from hell's attack in some distant, bloody war
C9 G D
Only to stare down hell back home
[Chorus]
C9 G D
Ooooooooooo
C9 G D
Ooooooooooo
[Verse 3]
C9 G D
Inside my mind I wander freely past this rocky shore
C9 G D
Waves crash against the banks where Lewis and Clark explored
C9 G D
We're all standing in the shadows of our noblest intentions of something more
C9 G D
Than being shot in a classroom in Oregon
[Bridge 2]
Em G D
And it's a morning like so many others, with breakfast and birthdays
Em G
Sun burn the fog away, breeze blew the mist away
D
My friend Jack is having a baby
Em G D
And I see a bird soaring through the clouds outside my window
C9 G D
Heaven is calling my name from the hallway outside the door
C9 G D
Heaven is calling my name from the hallway outside the door
[Chorus]
C9 G D
Oooo oooo ooooooooo
C9 G D
Oooo oooo ooooooooo
C9 G D
Oooo oooo ooooooooo
[Outro]
C9 G D
