Mountain At My Gates
This song wasn't even supposed to be released, 
but this is for the rare few who have heard it, I suppose...
The lyrics aren't perfect, especially toward the affected part at the end, 
but the chords are on.
[Verse]
DmI see a mouCntain at my gBbatesC

DmWhat I givCe it takes awBbayC  
DmWhether I gCo or whether I stBbayGm

This song wasn't even supposed to be released,

but this is for the rare few who have heard it, I suppose...

but the chords are on.

[Verse]

Dm C Bb C

I see a mountain at my gates

Dm C Bb Gm

I see it more and more each day

Dm C Bb C

What I give it takes away

Dm C Bb Gm

Whether I go or whether I stay

Dm C Bb C

I see a mountain at my gates

Dm C Bb Gm

I see it more and more each day

Dm C Bb C

I see a fire down by the lake

Dm C Bb Gm

I drive my car without the brakes

Dm C Bb C

I see a mountain in my way

Dm C Bb Gm

It’s looming larger by the day

Dm C Bb C

I see a darkness in my faith

Dm C Bb G

I drive my car without the brakes

[Chorus]

Bb Dm

Oh, give me some time

C G

Show me the foothold from which I can climb

Bb Dm

Yeah, when I feel low,

C G

You show me a signpost for where I should go

[Verse]

Dm C Bb C

I see a mountain at my gates

Dm C Bb Gm

I see it more and more each day

Dm C Bb C

And my desire wears a dark dress

Dm C Bb Gm

But each day I see you less

[Chorus]

Oh, give me some time

Show me the foothold from which I can climb

Bb Dm

Yeah, when I feel low,

You show me a signpost for where I should go

[Bridge]

Dm C Bb C Dm

Through lanes and stone rows, black granite, wind blows

Fire lake and far flame, Go now, but come again

Dark clouds gather round, Will I run or stand my ground?

Show me the mountain so far behind

Where it’s further away,

Its shadow gets smaller day after day

Yeah

Gimme my way

Gimme my love

Gimme my choice

You keep me coming around

When I stay

Gimme my lungs

Gimme my voice

You keep me coming around

Gimme my lungs

Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, keep on

G Bb

Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, keep on the way

When I stay

Gimme my lungs

Gimme my choice

You keep me coming around
