[Abm]
[A] [Abm]
[G] [Gbm] What [Db] have I done, sweet Jesus, what have I done?
a dog on the run?
hour so late?
hate, [Ebm] the cries in the dark that nobody hears,
Here where I stand [Db] the turning [Gbm] of the years.
I missed it twenty long years ago.
[A] [Abm]
[G] [Gbm] What [Db] have I done, sweet Jesus, what have I done?
a dog on the run?
hour so late?
hate, [Ebm] the cries in the dark that nobody hears,
Here where I stand [Db] the turning [Gbm] of the years.
I missed it twenty long years ago.

[G] _ _ _ _ [Gbm] What [Db] have I done, sweet Jesus, what have I done?
Become [Dbm] a thief in the night, become a dog on the run?
Have [Gb] I fallen so far and is the hour so late?
[Eb] That nothing remains but the cry of my hate, [Ebm] the cries in the dark that nobody hears,
[Gb]
Here where I stand [Db] the turning [Gbm] of the _ _ _ years.
If there's another way to go, I missed it twenty long years ago.
[A] My life was a war that could never be won.
They gave me a number and they murdered [E] Faozhan [D] when they chained [Dbm] me and left [Gbm] me for dead.
[D] Just for [Db] stealing a [Gb] mouthful of bread. _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Yet why did I allow [Abm] this man to _ _ touch my [Eb] soul and teach me love? _
[E] _ [Cm] He treated me like [G] any other.
_ [Ab] He gave me his trust.
He [Eb] called me brother.
_ _ My life he claimed [Ab] for God _ above.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] Such _ _ [Eb] things _ be, for I had come to hate the [Abm] _ _ world.
_ _ [Bb] This world that always [Eb] hated me.
_ _ [Db] _ Take an eye for an eye, [Gb] _ _ [Abm] _ [Db] turn your heart into [Eb] stone.
[Fm] _ [Gb] _ [Bb] _
This is all I [Eb] live for.
_ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ [Ebm] _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _
[B] _ _ [Eb] One word from him and I'd [Abm] be back _ _ _ beneath the lash upon [Eb] the rack.
_ _ [Cm] _ Instead he offers me [G] my freedom.
_ [Ab] I feel my shame inside me [Eb] like in fire.
_ _ He told me that I had [Ab] a soul.
_ _ [Bb] _
_ How [Eb] does he _ know?
_ What spirit goes to move [Abm] my life?
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ Is there [Eb] another way [C] to go? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I am reaching but I fall. _
_ And the night is closing in.
_ As I [Bb] stare into the void.
To the whirlpool of my sins.
_ _ [Eb] I'll escape now from that world.
From the world of Shum [D]-Bao-Shan.
_ [Db] Shum-Bao-Shan is [Ab] nothing!
_ And the [Cm] stars _ _ _ [B] begin!
