Elway - Pangloss Chords

[Intro]
A E F#m A D C#m E
 
 
[Verse 1]
      A                E
I’d believe you if you said
        D       A
we were already dead There was
D            A/C#         E
  no hope of rescue or return
      A                 E
I can see us plucked instead
         D           A
from the foot of our death
         D
bed With nothing of a
E              A
flourish or concern
 
 
[Verse 2]
   A                E/G#
Oh nothing packs a sting like
  F#m                A
a walk down our old street
        D           A/C#
And the memories of past
            E        A
lives so profane I recall them
       E/G#      F#m         A
when I sing in a morbid reckoning
       D
Of the things I’ve lost and
E                  A
those that still remain
 
 
[Chorus 1]
        F#m               C#/F
But the light will surely go
     E            B/D#
from everyone and everything
       D        A/C# E
you’ll ever know      From
F#m              C#/F
coast to burning coast We
    E                  B/D#
are rendered flesh and bone
       D           A/C#
And unequivocally alone
    E
But lie and I’ll believe you
 
 
[Post Chorus]
A E/G# F#m A D A/C# E
A E/G# F#m A D E A
 
 
[Verse 3]
A
  For one faint spark on a
breathless night I would
trade you all the rest of
D        A/C#         D
time and everything I own
    A
For one last kiss at the
 
perfect time I would forego
                 D
all the peace of mind
     A/C#       D
I’ve labored to know
 
 
[Chorus 2]
       E
I will wait and helplessly
D        A
hope Swallow my pride
      E/G#          F#m
while choking on hello
       E            D
I’ll remain until I know
     A               E/G#
That foolish kid has given
       F#m       E
up the ghost But lie
and I’ll believe you
