verse 1 
C       D     
You run away but, 
  Em                                       C 
I don't know where you're running to, you... 
         D                 Em  
You stay awake because you don't want the shadow to catch you. 
         C             D                 Em            C                   
No, you... you lied to me because you're own heart beat haunts you. 
                 D 
And there's only so much I can do. 

 
   G         D     C 
So rest your weary soul, 
             Em        D       C 
And don't be afraid of growing old. 
     G       D       C  
With flowers on your chest, 
              Em       D        C 
I want you to know you did your best. 

verse 2: 
C                  D 
I don't know quite what to do, 
      Em             Em (let ring)   C 
I've spent ten years waiting on you. 
            D                      Em                              C 
And my tolerance is thin for these ultimatums and disappointments. 
                  D                  Em 
If the past means more to you than letting it go, 
     Em       D     C 
Then just let me go too. 
                   D 
Cause there's only so much I can do. 


G         D     C 
So rest your weary soul, 
             Em        D       C 
And don't be afraid of growing old. 
     G       D       C  
With flowers on your chest, 
              Em       D        C 
I want you to know you did your best. 


Bridge: 
             D      Em 
You've given me no option but to be alone, 
C                   D                 Em  
But I've learned so much and grown so strong that I thank you 

For being so cold. 
C            D    Em             C  
You've given me a broken family, 
         D 
But it's okay, 
            Em                         D 
I was never much of a son or a brother anyway. 
Em - C 
Anyway

Anyway 
Em                      C

Anyway (Father, Mother, Sister, Brother) 
Em                      C

Anyway (Father, Mother) 
D

G         D     C 
So rest your weary soul, 
             Em        D       C 
And don't be afraid of growing old. 

Outro: 
Em 
Now I lay me down to sleep, 
  C          
I pray my heart will find some peace, 
  Em                              D 
If I should die before I find the reasons I should wake. 
Em 
Now I lay me down to sleep, 
  C          
I pray my heart will find some peace, 
  Em                              D 
If I should die before I find the reasons I should wake.
