This Beautiful Life

C
One foot, then the other
       Dm              G
Such embarrassment, it wasn't meant that
C              Em
I, I should discover
      Dm                   G
Such offensive things, the suffering since

F
Hoped to the ground?
             G
But I really never had enough
            F
They've got pride in him
          G                G E
This tide turns lives over

( Am G D F E Am G D F E Am )

Am
   A back-town prophecy
 D
Adorned in stony skin
   D#
We never ever [never ever]
            D7
Ever had to like to move ahead
    Am
But here in oblivion
   D
We cling to what we can
   D#
So in the end [in the end]
                D7
We can say that with these hands
               Am G D F E
We took it all back
       Am G D F E
It all back

   Am     G       D
So let us force a smile
F   E  C         Em     Dm   F E
And pretend that we're alive
        F
Oh, but somewhere
             G
None of this happened
            F
The bullets removed themselves
        Am  G D
Life is beautiful
  F      G
I have a home above the lake where I could

C                       D7
Forget the words to the songs that we've heard
    G7                    C
The passages read all the names in a world
          C
That have brought us this pain
         D7
From the wounds we've sustained
  G7
A cold calloused heart
        C                       C
Sitting still in this cave of a chest
                         D7
So abandon a life from before
  G7
A boy and his innocence...
