Rulers, Ruling All Things

[Em]I have been cruel and kind without knowing
[C]I fell into silence overwhelmed by these days
For [Am]I had been shown empty rulers,
ruling [B7]all things

[Em]Thinking the world was mine to lay hold of
I [C]breathed in the promise of maiden and man
But [Am]each had their own illusions
to hold [B7]on to

[Em]I only [D]want to be left to my [C]own ways
[Em]The rulers have [D]won leaving all things [C]undone    [Bm]
[Em]I've stood in [D]awe of the whole cre[C]ation
[Bm]Gathered among them was the [C]morning
Giving all its rest    [Em]

[Em]Thinking the world was mine to be lost in
[C]I ran with a freedom and sang in between
For [Am]I had the path of wonder
There be[B7]fore me

[Em]I only [D]want to be left to my [C]own ways
[Em]The rulers have [D]won leaving all things [C]undone    [Bm]
[Em]I've stood in [D]awe of the whole cre[C]ation
[Bm]Gathered among them was the [C]morning

Giving all its rest

        [Em] [C] [Am] [B7]

[Em]I only [D]want to be left to my [C]own ways
[Em]The rulers have [D]won leaving all things [C]undone    [Bm]
[Em]I've stood in [D]awe of the whole cre[C]ation
[Bm]Gathered among them was the [C]morning
Giving all its rest    [Em]

I only [D]want to be left to my [C]own ways
[Em]The rulers have [D]won leaving all things [C]undone    [Bm]
[Em]I've stood in [D]awe of the whole cre[C]ation
[Bm]Gathered among them was the [C]morning
Giving all its rest    [Em]
