Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
(TWICE)
Running down along the towns along the shore
When I was sixteen and on my own
No I couldn't tell you what the hell those breaks were for
I was just trying to hear my song
(TWICE)
Jimmy found his own sweet sound when he won that free guitar
And we'd all get in the van and play
Life became the Paradox, the Bell, the Rouge et noir
And the stretch of road running to L.A.
Pages turning
Pages we were years from learning
Straight into the night our hearts were flung
(PLAY REGULAR "C" and "D" for chorus)
Better bring your own redemtion when you come
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
All the world was shining from those hills
With the stars above and the lights below
Among those there to test their fortune and their will
I lost track of the score long ago
BRIDGE, CHORUS
Childhood comes for me at night
The voices of my friends
Your face bathing me in light
I hope that never ends
(TWICE)
Pages turning
Pages torn and pages burning
Faded pages open in the sun
