(## NOTE:  A11is merely a Transition Chord between  Cand  D##)
 A11= x00000
INTRO:   Am    G(4x)
AmClimbing a mountain in Emdarkness
CStranded alone on A11the Dledge
AmEvery attempt that I Emmake to hold on
CPushes me nearer A11the Dedge
INSTRUMENTAL:   Am    G   Am   Em   Am   G   Am  Em  
AmSensing the changes imEmpending
My Cthoughts are diffused by A11despDair
I Amfeel like I'm swimming straight Emup underwater
CDesperately racing A11for Dair, I'm racing for air
INSTRUMENTAL:   Am    G   Am   Em   Am   G  Am  
CHORUS:
And the Achords struck at birth grow more distant
Yet, we Bmstrike them again and aAgain
And we F#mplead and we Apray for a F#mglimmer of Aday
As the F#mnight folds its Awings and Emdescends
Exposing the loDose Gends
INSTRUMENTAL: Lead break
SurAmrounding myself with posEmsessions
I Csurely have more than A11I neDed
I Amdon't know if this is Emjustice hard earned
Or Csimply a matter A11of gDreed, a matter of greed
INSTRUMENTAL:   Am    G    Am    G    Am    G    Am  Em  
CHORUS:
And the Achords struck at birth grow more distant
Yet, we Bmstrike them again and aAgain
And we F#mplead and we Apray for a F#mglimmer of Aday
As the F#mnight folds its Awings and Emdescends
Exposing the loAmose EmendsAm  Em  
CHORUS:
