Use your ring finger for the G(4) and your index finger , barred, for the two '2', the
and a notes. You can mute the A string (the first x) with your ringfinger and the other
'x' with your index finger.
If you chose this way to play it, you might want to play the Am/G and Am/Fin that
simplified way. That makes:
Use your middlefinger for the and your thumb for the (2). You
leave your index finger unchanged, like the as shown above.
ENJOY
If you fear the angels above while you sleep
Then I'll be the blood, you paint on your door
Your dream is a worry that nothing will keep, but
time is a story and there will be more
Your dream is a worry that nothing will keep,
> back
but time is a story and there will be more
chords for next verses and chorus, same as above.
and death in disgrace can seduce anyone
that needs to believe theres judgment at hand
or God may be kind and see you like a son, but
time is a lion when you are a lamb
Or God may be kind and see you like a son, but
time is a lion when you are a lamb
The years see the best of intentions and greed
they come without shame, they'll leave you with some
men become old when their hurt becomes need, but
time is a lover and your time is young
Men become old when their hurt becomes need, but
time is a lover and your time is young
The sun is a soldier, out crawling the hills
setting fire to every house thats in view
lighting the ruin of my hope and my will
till Im like a shadow and Im falling on you,
crawling on you..
Oh you know how I do.. (repeat intro)
So sleep here with me and Ill keep you close
for now while i try to live up to you
You cant see the challenge of this I suppose, but
time is a dare and Im trying to
You cant see the challenge of this I suppose, but
time is a dare and Im trying to
(repeat chorus chords for the last lines)
time is a dare and Im trying to ( 3x )
end on Am
