and in the verse he switches between C and Csus2 and Am and Am7.
[Intro]
Am C9 Am C9
[Verse]
AmHold my head cause it’s been C9quite some time
AmThe past two years you’ve been C9hard to find
AmMy mind strays from the C9pathways we would hold
AmAs time took all your years away your C9soul never grew old
[Pre-Chorus]
AmBut I’ve been turning friends to foes
C9Stuck in bed with broken bones
AmFeels like time has left me on my C9way
AmHold on to this sense of home
C9As you tell me which way to go
AmI know that I will see you again someC9day
[Chorus]
CSo don’t go now, I’ll be watching over you said a voice I used to know
AmI’ll wait, till I can remember
CSo don’t go now, I’ll be looking after you said a voice I’d heard before
AmI’ll wait, now it’s comin back to me
Am C9 Am C9
[Verse]
AmContinuous delirium won’t C9lead me to the truth
I’ve been Amfalling back to vices that will C9pull me from my roots
And Amcolder days find colder ways to C9bring me closer to
AmAll the things you told me not to C9get in to
[Pre-Chorus]
AmBut I’ve been turning friends to foes
C9Stuck in bed with broken bones
AmFeels like time has left me on my C9way
AmHold on to this sense of home
C9As you tell me which way to go
AmI know that I will see you again someC9day

CSo don’t go now, I’ll be looking after you said a voice I’d heard before

[Intro]

Am C9 Am C9

[Verse]

Am C9

Hold my head cause it’s been quite some time

Am C9

The past two years you’ve been hard to find

Am C9

My mind strays from the pathways we would hold

Am C9

As time took all your years away your soul never grew old

[Pre-Chorus]

But I’ve been turning friends to foes

Stuck in bed with broken bones

Am C9

Feels like time has left me on my way

Hold on to this sense of home

As you tell me which way to go

Am C9

I know that I will see you again someday

[Chorus]

So don’t go now, I’ll be watching over you said a voice I used to know

I’ll wait, till I can remember

So don’t go now, I’ll be looking after you said a voice I’d heard before

I’ll wait, now it’s comin back to me

Am C9 Am C9

[Verse]

Am C9

Continuous delirium won’t lead me to the truth

Am C9

I’ve been falling back to vices that will pull me from my roots

Am C9

And colder days find colder ways to bring me closer to

Am C9

All the things you told me not to get in to

[Pre-Chorus]

But I’ve been turning friends to foes

Stuck in bed with broken bones

Am C9

Feels like time has left me on my way

Hold on to this sense of home

As you tell me which way to go

Am C9

I know that I will see you again someday

[Chorus]

So don’t go now, I’ll be watching over you said a voice I used to know

I’ll wait, till I can remember

So don’t go now, I’ll be looking after you said a voice I’d heard before

I’ll wait, now it’s comin back to me

Am C9 Am C9

[Bridge]

A different way a different start

Am G

not an empty bed or a broken heart, I know I’m lucky too

But I’ve been told that wise men stand

Am G

through broken times in broken lands and they’ll tell you what they knew

[Chorus]

So don’t go now, I’ll be watching over you said a voice I used to know

I’ll wait, till I can remember

So don’t go now, I’ll be looking after you said a voice I’d heard before

I’ll wait, now it’s comin back to me
