Chords for Shawn James - The Guardian (Ellie's Song) - Official Music Video

[E] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ .
[B] _ _ When [G] _ _ [B] _ _ .
[Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ .
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
[Em] does it get quiet?.
[Am] _ Time was [B] supposed _ [G] To _ [B] extinguish the [Em] _ desire.
[Am] But the embers won't [B] snuff out _ _ _ _ .
[Em] _ _ Haunted [Am] by your smiles [B] The mass keeps [G] getting _ [B] heavier.
[Em] _ _ One [Am] step forward, two [B] steps _ back _ _ [Am] There's a noose around my [B] neck.
And the further I get [G] It's harder and [B] harder [Em] to breathe.
[A] Then I [Am] find [B] a way to cut [G] the _ [Bm] rope.
[Em] _ _ I've [A] been waiting [Am] for dawn [Em] But the [B] light is all [G] gone.
Don't know if I'm [B] [Em] already blind [Am] Then I leave [C#] it [B] all _ .
[G] behind.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ .
[Em] _ [B] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ .
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [Em] _ .
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ What's [Em] it really for?.
[Am] If it's not [G] yours And [B] it's [Em] not mine.
This victory's not [A] What I [Am] _ _ .
[B] hoped for.
_ _ How _ .
[Em] _ _ was [Am] I to know _ [Em] That [B] everything [G] would end [B] up [Em] like this.
Survival [E] of [Am] the fittest _ .
[B] of sorts _ So I've [Am] become the bringer of [B] death.
The lover of [G] life The one [B] who [Em] guards from the dark of night.
[A] [Am] I'll be [E] the [B] hammer _ [G] of _ [B] _ [Em] war _ _ _ .
[Am] Justice and [Em] mercy don't [B] live side by side [G] So with [B] retribution [Em] I'll die.
[Am] I'll [Em] tip the [B] scales till justice [G] is [B] in.
_ [Em] _ But can it make a man _ [Am] _ _ _ _ .
[Em] _ [B] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ .
[Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ .
[E] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ kill [Em] or be killed?.
[F#] What _ _ [Em].
[B] a way [G] to [B] live [Em] and die I [A] just can't see [Am] the cycle [B] ever ending.
_ _ _ How _ .
[Em] _ _ can [Am] I correct [Em] the [B] damage done [G] When I [B] _ .
[Em] can't feel the _ [Am] consequences of my [B] _ _ recourse.
_ So I've [Am] become the bringer of [Em] death The [B] lover of life.
[G] The one [B] who [Em] guards from the dark of night I'll be [B] the hammer of [G] _ _ [B] war.
[Em] _ _ _ .
[A] I've been [Am] waiting for dawn [B] But the light is all gone.
[G] Don't know [B] if I'm already [Em] _ blind [Am] Then I _ leave [B] it all _ .
[G] behind.
_ _ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
