E Esus4

       E                  Esus4
Well I just can't seem to beat it
          E                   Esus4  
'Cause my heart's too numb to feel
         E                  Esus4
And your smile does all the talking
        E                  Esus4
And the pain is all that's real
    E                 Esus4
The way that you keep screaming
      E              Esus4
I can hardly hear to think
      E                    Esus4   E             Esus4
And I feel the bridges are burning underneath my feet

             A9             E
Where do you go when you're gone
             A9             E
Where do you go when you're gone
           A9            E
Oh how the road feels so long
             A9             E
Where do you go when you're gone

       E                 Esus4
Well I just want to stay dreaming
      E                  Esus4
And I just don't want to wake
    E                Esus4   E                   Esus4
Why can't we keep on sailing across the same old lake 
   E                 Esus4             E                Esus4
My forehead is still bleeding from the thorns I used to wear
        E                  Esus4
And I'm left alone and I'm beaten
         E                 Esus4
But this cross I choose to bear

             A9             E
Where do you go when you're gone
             A9             E
Where do you go when you're gone
           A9            E
Oh how the road feels so long
             A9             E
Where do you go when you're gone

       A9                     E
Well I finally found what I'm looking for
           A9                        E
Though the road's still long and the night's still full
      A9                     E              A9 E
But I finally found what I'm looking for
       A9                     E
Well I finally found what I'm looking for
           A9                        E
Though the road's still long and the night's still full
  A9                     E
I finally found what I'm looking for

A9 E....

    E                Esus4          E                  Esus4
The voices fall like timber and the fear it pulls like rain
       E                   Esus4        E                  Esus4
And my heart is crushed to cinders underneath this kind of pain
    E               Esus4           E            Esus4
But there is no resolution when the revolution's dead
       E              Esus4           E            Esus4
So I'm left with no solution, but the voices in my head

             A9             E
Where do you go when you're gone
             A9             E
Where do you go when you're gone
           A9            E
Oh how the road feels so long
             A9             E
Where do you go when you're gone
