[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Bm] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[F#m] I've _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ been watched by the fire, I don't [F#] remember my days.
And [E] it may be a trick of the firelight, but [B] the [D#] flickering pages [D#m] that trouble my sight
is [D] a book I'm afraid to write.
It's [Bm] the book [F#m] of my days, it's [F#] the book of my life,
[E] and it's cut like a throat on the blade of a [A] knife.
And [D#] it's soft that you see as [B] the section reveals, there's [G] no sorrow in [D]
every [G#] line.
_ If [A] it reads like a puzzle [Bm] or wandering maze,
then I won't [F#m] understand until [D#] the end of my days.
I'm [D] so forced to remember, [Bm] remember the [C#m] words in [F#] my life.
[F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ There are promises broken and promises kept,
[E] angry words that were [C#m]
spoken that I [F#m] should have lost.
There's [D#] a chapter of secrets and words to be fixed.
If [D] I lose everything that [E] I possess,
there's [A] a chapter on loss and [Bm] a ghost who won't die.
There's [F#m] a chapter on love where [D#] the inks never dry.
There [Bm] are sentences served in [C#] a prison I've built out [D] of lies.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _ [Bm]
Oh, the pages I [F#m] look at, _ [D]
I [B] can't see where [E] they [F#m] lead.
_ _ [D]
For [B] the end is [E] a mystery [D] and no one can read [E] the book of [F#] my life.
_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] There's a chapter on fables, a chapter on stories.
There [F] are pages of conflicts [Dm] that [Gm] nobody won.
And [E] the battles you lost and your bitter defeat,
there's [D#] a page where you fail to [F] meet.
There [A#] are turns that were fortunate [Cm] couldn't be planned.
There's [Gm] a chapter on God that [E] I broke to understand.
There's [Cm] a promise of heaven [D] and hell, but I'm damned if [D#] I see.
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[A#] _ _ _ [Cm] Oh, the pages I [Gm] number, _ _ [D#] I [Cm] can't see where they [Gm] lead.
_ _ For [Cm] the end is a mystery and no one can read [F] the book of [G] my life. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A#] Now the [C] daylight's [Gm] returning.
[Cm] _ _
If [Gm] one sentence is _ [Dm] true, _ all [D#] these [A#] pages [D#] I've burned [G] in.
_ [F] _
[C] And [G#] now the [A#] _ [Fm] sentence _ [G#m] is [E] you.
_ _ [G#m] _ [C#m] _
_ [G#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [F#] _
_ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [F#] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [E] Oh, the pages [F#] I number, [G#m] _ _ [E] I [C#m] can't see where [F#] they [G#m] lead.
_ _ [C#m] For the end is [F#] a mystery [E] and no one can [F#] read the book of [G#m] my life.
_ [C#m] _ _ [B] _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ [F#m] _ [G#m] _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] I'm damned if I see.
