Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagine

Your pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gun

 And I don't know you'll be the first to welcome me

When I climb into eternity

Oh, oh

The forest always kept us warm

But it doesn't feel like home anymore

 And I don't know there's bigger mountains where you are

And a better climate for my heart

Oh, oh

Chorus

 I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam

 I am ready for my final symphony

 Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong

 I am ready to rest in your arms

Verse

Though many battles I have won

I lost too many friends I could count on

 And I don't know they'll be the first to welcome me

When I parachute into eternity

Oh, oh

Chorus

 I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam

 I am ready for my final symphony

 Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong

 I am ready to rest in your arms

Bridge

(x2)

 And the rain beat down on the rooftops

 But there was no sound

 There was no sound

 And all my friends and family carried me

 They carried me home

 They Carried me home

Chorus

 Oh, I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam

 I am ready for my final symphony

 Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong

 I am ready to rest in your arms

(backing vocals sing the Bridge behind the Main Chorus Vocals)

 I've been racing the clock

And I've run out of steam

 I am ready for my final symphony

 Oh my body is weak

But my soul is still strong

 I am ready to rest in your arms

Oh, oh
