Let [F#m] .
me watch by the fire [F#] and remember my days [E] And it may be a trick of the firelight.
[B] But the [D#].
flickering pages [D#m] that trouble my sight [G#m] Is the [D] book I'm afraid to write.
[Bm] It's the [F#m] book of my days, it's the [F#] book of my life [E] And it's cut like a fork on the blade of [A] a knife.
[D#] And it's all there to see [B] as the section reveals [G] There's no sorrow in [D] every [G#] life.
[A] If it reads like a puzzle [Bm] or wandering ways Then I [F#m] won't understand till the end of my days.
I'm still [D] forced to remember, [Bm] remember the [C#m] words of [F#] my .
[F#m] life .
There are promises for a million promises kept [E] Angry words that [C#m] were spoken but I should [F#m] have left.
[D#] There's a chapter of secrets and words to confess [D] If I lose everything [E] that I possess.
[A] There's a chapter on loss [Bm] and a ghost who won't die There's a [F#m] chapter on love [D#] where the inks never dry.
[B] There are [Bm] sentences served [C#] in a prison I've built [D] out of [Bm] lies.
[A] [E] .
[Bm] All the pages I've [F#m] loved on the map [D] I [B] can't see where [E] they [F#m] lead [D] me.
For [B] the end is [E] a mystery [D] no one can [E] read Without the book [F#] of my [Bm] life.
[F#m] [D] .
[F#m] [D] .
[G] [Gm] There's a chapter on fathers, a chapter on sons There [F] are pages of conflicts [Dm] that nobody [Gm] wrote.
And [E] the battles you lost and your bitter defeat There's [D#] a page where you fail to [F] .
meet.
There [A#] are tears that good fortune [Cm] that couldn't be paid There's [Gm] a chapter on God that [E] I don't understand.
There's [Cm] a promise of heaven [G] and hell [D] but I'm damned if [D#] I see [Cm] me .
[A#] [Cm] All the pages I've loved [Gm] on the map [D#] I [Cm] can't see where they [Gm] lead me.
For [Cm] the end is [D] a mystery [D#] no one can [Cm] read [Gm] Without the book of [G] my .

life.
[A#] Now the [C] daylight's [Gm] returning [Cm] .
[Gm] If one sentence is [Dm] true.
All [D#] these pages I've burned [F] in And [Cm] [G#] now [A#] I [Fm] stand in the [G#m] sun.
