First Aid Kit - The Bell

Capo: 2nd fret

[Verse]
Em
Don’t place your bets on me
Em
I’m tired and I’m only
C G
With nothing to offer you
C G
Nothing to offer you

Em
The pavement stares gray and cold
Em
Our lives are a story told
C G
Coming to an ending
C G
It’s coming to an ending

[Chorus]
C
How could I turn around?
B7
Face the sound of the bell that chimes?
C
Ringing out, shrill and loud
F C G
To drag me back down… , but I’m not coming home

[Verse]
Em
Been out here for so long
Em
The road just stretches on
C G
Till I stop pretending
C G
Till I stop pretending

Em
But the world is an empty frame
Em
And now you are just a name
C G
I’ll keep it that way
C G
It’s staying that way

[Chorus]
C
How could I turn around?
B7
Face the sound of the bell that chimes?
C
Ringing out, shrill and loud
F C G
To drag me back down… , but I’m not coming home

[Interlude]
G
I tried hard to be brave
G Em
I tried hard not to be afraid
G
But trying wasn’t enough

G
I tried hard to be brave
G Em
I tried hard not to be afraid
G
But trying wasn’t enough

[Outro]
G
I’m sorry, I’m sorry
C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
G
The bell, the bell

C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
C Cmaj7
Can you hear the bell?
G
The bell, the bell

C G
From the rust that lies deep in it’s throat
C G
I hear solemn monotone notes
C G
The danger, the ebbs and the flows
C G C G D
In the silence of night he lets me know
C G Em
That I’m not coming home
