The Guardian (ellie's Song) Tab por Shawn James

[Intro]
 
Em Am B7 G Gmaj7 Em Am B7
 
[Verse 1]
             Em          Am       B7        G Gmaj7         Em
When does it get quiet? Time was supposed to extinguish the desire
        Am            B7
But the embers won't snuff out
Em              Am            B7              G Gmaj7    Em
Haunted by your smiles, the mask keeps getting  heavier
          Am           B7
One step forward, two steps back
 
 
[Chorus]
           Am                            B7
There's a noose 'round my neck and the further I get
       G       Gmaj7        Em        Am        B7            G Gmaj7    Em
It's harder and harder to breathe, can I find a way to cut the rope?
          Am                        B7
I've been waiting for dawn, but the light is all gone
       G       Gmaj7       Em        Am         B7  G Gmaj7    Em
Don't know if I'm already blind, can I leave it all behind?
 
 
Em Am B7 G Gmaj7 Em Am B7
 
 
[Verse 2]
              Em            Am             G Gmaj7    Em
What's it really for if it's not yours and it's not mine?
                Em         Am    B7   Em
This victory is not what I hoped for
              Am       B7               G  Gmaj7     Em
How was I to know that everything would end up like this?
                 Am          B7
Survival of the fittest... of sorts
 
 
[Chorus]
                   Am                  B7
So I've become the bringer of death, a lover of life
     G      Gmaj7           Em                 
The one who guards from the dark of the night, 
Am          B7        G Gmaj7    Em
I'll be the hammer of war
Am                      B7                 
Justice and mercy don't live side by side, 
   G    Gmaj7        Em
so in retribution, I abide
Am           B7                  G Gmaj7   Em                         Am B7 G Gmaj7    Em 
I'll tip the scales to justice's end,  
Am              B7        
but can it make amends?
 
 
[Verse 3]
        Em         Am     B7     G Gmaj7    Em
Kill or be killed, what a way to live and die
       Am                      B7      Em
I just can't see this cycle ever ending
          Am          B7               G Gmaj7    Em
How can I correct the damage done when I can't feel
           Am            B7
The consequences of my recourse?
 
 
[Chorus]
                   Am                  B7
So I've become the bringer of death, a lover of life
     G      Gmaj7       Em                 Am  
The one who guards from the dark of the night, 
        B7        G Gmaj7    Em
I'll be the hammer of war
          Am                        B7
I've been waiting for dawn, but the light is all gone
       G       Gmaj7       Em        Am         B7  G Gmaj7    Em
Don't know if I'm already blind, can I leave it all behind?
