Em
I have been cruel and kind without knowing
C
I fell into silence overwhelmed by these days
Am
For I had been shown empty rulers,
B7
ruling all things
Em
Thinking the world was mine to lay hold of
C
I breathed in the promise of maiden and man
Am
But each had their own illusions
B7
to hold on to
Em D C
I only want to be left to my own ways
Em D C Bm
The rulers have won leaving all things undone
Em D C
I've stood in awe of the whole creation
Bm C
Gathered among them was the morning
Em
Giving all its rest
Em
Thinking the world was mine to be lost in
C
I ran with a freedom and sang in between
Am
For I had the path of wonder
B7
There before me
Em D C
I only want to be left to my own ways
Em D C Bm
The rulers have won leaving all things undone
Em D C
I've stood in awe of the whole creation
Bm C
Gathered among them was the morning
Giving all its rest
(Solo) Em C Am B7
Em D C
I only want to be left to my own ways
Em D C Bm
The rulers have won leaving all things undone
Em D C
I've stood in awe of the whole creation
Bm C
Gathered among them was the morning
Em
Giving all its rest
D C
I only want to be left to my own ways
Em D C Bm
The rulers have won leaving all things undone
Em D C
I've stood in awe of the whole creation
Bm C
Gathered among them was the morning
Em
Giving all its rest
