[intro]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Dm Dm/F G6
[verse 1]
Cmaj7
Do you see that young pretender
Fmaj7
With the tear-marks on his face
Dm G6
His dark eyes burning when he talks
Cmaj7
I knew him in his splendour
Fmaj7
I've known him in disgrace
Dm G6
Who'll cut him down from this rock
[pre-chorus]
Am
He says bring me my horses
Em7
My symbols and my wheels
Fmaj7 Dm G6
And we'll speak with our souls for a while
Am
'Cause I'm sick and I'm torn
Em7
And I long to be healed
Fmaj7 Dm G6 G6/C G6
And the truth's been too long out of style
[chorus]
G6 Fmaj7
In my time on this earth
C G
I will speak the secret
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will tell what is true
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will say what the heart knows
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will say I am you
[verse 2]
Cmaj7
I'm so tired of the sound
Fmaj7
My old fingers make
Dm G6
As they tease and torment my guitar
Cmaj7
And the man on my screen
Fmaj7
Is an actor and a fake
Dm G6
Yet he preens like a golden superstar
[pre-chorus]
Am
I cried in her arms
Em7
When the darkening day was done
Fmaj7 Dm G6
And I smelt the burning city in her hair
Am
And the word on the tips
Em7
Of a thousand million tongues
Fmaj7
Went unspoken
Dm G6 G6/C G6
While a lie sped everywhere
[chorus]
G6 Fmaj7
In my time on this earth
C G
I will speak the secret
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will tell what is true
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will say what the heart knows
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will say I am you
[verse 3]
Cmaj7
Now November is here
Fmaj7
With its carpet of leaves
Dm G6
And the songs of the dead fill my ears
Cmaj7
All the champions are fallen
Fmaj7
All the heroes are deceived
Dm G6
And the world they made has disappeared
[pre-chorus]
Am
So let's tell it like is, man
Em7
Let's nail it on the line
Fmaj7 Dm G6
Let's be clean with our tongues from here on in
Am
For we're deep in the heart
Em7
Of the enemy's design
Fmaj7 Dm G6 G6/C G6
Just waiting for the breakout to begin
[chorus]
G6 Fmaj7
In my time on this earth
C G
I will speak the secret
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will tell what is true
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will say what the heart knows
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will say I am you
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will say I am you
Fmaj7
In my time on earth
C G
I will say I am you
