The E chord is played as: 022104
[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
To the end of the Aearth, I Esearch for your face
For the one who laid Aall of our Bmbeauty to waste
Threw our hope into Ahell and our Echildren to the fire
I am the Aone who Bmcrawled through the wire
EI am the Aone who Bmcrawled through the wire
[Verse 2]
There's a million sad Astories on the Eside of the road
Strange how we Aall just got Bmused to the blood
Millions of Astories that'll Enever be told
Silent and Afroze in the Bmmud
ESilent and Afroze in the Bmmud
[Chorus]
EI know a Acold as Bmcold as it gets
EI know a Adarkness that's Bmdarker than coal
A wind that Ablows as Ecold as it gets
Blew out the Alight in my Bmsoul
EBlew out the Alight in my Bmsoul
[Verse 3]
I dream in my Asleep, I Edream in my days
Of some sunny Astreet not Bmso far away
Where up in a Awindow a Ecurtain will sway
And you and I'll Ameet down beBmlow
EYou and I'll Ameet down bBmelow
[Chorus]
EI know a Acold as Bmcold as it gets
EI'll fight a Awar I may Bmnever see won
I live only to Asee you Elive to regret
EveryAthing that you've Bmdone
EEveryAthing that you've Bmdone
EEveryAthing that you've Bmdone
