Straylight Run - For The Best Chords

capo second fret

    C               E            D            G
It takes more time than I've ever had,
                C           E
Drains the life from me,
               D              G
Makes me want to forget,
     C            E        
As young as I was,
        D              G 
I felt older back then, 
        C       E
More disciplined,
 D                   G  
Stronger and certain, 
     C                                   E 
But I was scared to death of eternity, 
          D              
I was saved by grace, 
            G
But destroyed by naivety, 
      C  E      D        G
And I lied to myself, 
      C      E        D         G
And said it was for the best,
             
             C               E                D           G           
And now faith is replaced with a logic so cold
         C                   E  
I've disregarded what I was, 
 D                 G 
Now that I'm older, 
         C                E                 D          G
And I know much more than I did back then, 
            C          E
But the more I learn, 
       D                G 
The more I can't understand, 
       C                                          E           
And I've become content with this life that I lead, 
             D                                  G
Where I drink to much and don't believe in much of anything, 
      C  E      D    G
And I lie to myself, 
       C   E     D        G
And say it's for the best,


C
We're moving forward,
       E  
But holding ourselves back,
       D                       G
And we're waiting on something that will never come,
