If you're playing the electric parts, I suggest you play power chords for the verse and
just single
root notes for the second part of the verse, and strum the chorus. That sounds the best
to me but feel
free to have fun and strum however you please :)
Intro:
Em G D Bm (3x)
Em G B Em
Verse 1.1
Bury me in silence
For I'll never hear the truth
Em G D Bm
My coffin will be empty
Cause you'll never steal my youth
Em G D Bm
VERSE 1.2
Em G
I was born to live beside you
A Bm
But you tried to stop me grow
Em G
Now I'm living on the run
A Bm
From all this hatred you now love
Em G
Who said it only rains
Bm Em
From the heavens above
"short" CHORUS
G Em
Speed of darkness lights our way
G Em
We set our course for America
D Em
No bitterness will bite my tongue
D A
The speed of darkness has begun
Em G D Bm
(Begun)
Em G D Bm
VERSE 2.1 and 2.2 same as before
It's something of a pity
But you'll never understand
How a boy can grow and
Still never be a man
I would trade the sun for nothing
And the glancing of a star
If you could just remember
Grains of dust is all we are
It only takes a second
For a beat to kill a heart
CHORUS 2
G Em
Speed of darkness lights our way
G Em
We set our course for America
D Em
No bitterness will bite this tongue
G
I've reconciled with all that's gone
D A
The speed of darkness has begun
INTERLUDE
F#m Bm
Only time and life will tell
F#m D A
But it's a long way home when you're in hell
F#m Bm
Where constant demons fracture souls
F#m D A
Once a nightmare, now just lifeless ghosts
SOLO
B5 D (2x)
BRIDGE
G Bm A
Speed of darkness lights our way
VERSE 3.1 and 3.2 same as before
You tore this land asunder
But my pride will bring it back
I would trade the sun for nothing
And the glancing of a star
If you could just remember
Grains of dust is all we are
It only takes a second
For beat to kill a heart
CHORUS 2
OUTRO
Em G D Bm 3x
