The Pavilion A Long Way Back

D    G    Bm  A  G    x2

D
Carry them over your shoulders, you fear
G
The absence, the void you'll cause
                                   Bm
When you choose to leave them all here
                   A                        G
There's no turning back, it's time that you steer
  D
The wide open stairs back alone at the cusp
 G                                                                Bm
The self that you thought you lost, the shine that burned well into rest
                  A                         G
You can't hear my voice cause' I'm not loud enough
  D                G
Believe me, when I say
       Bm        A         G (palm mute)
It's a long way back from here

  (palm mute)

Goodbye for now

G    D   Bm   A
Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
G   D   Bm  A
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
G                  D
Over and over, the light hits the dusk
       A                          Bm             D           G
It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up
    D       A                          D
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

D
The glistening wet concrete, the heat off the road
    G
The clamoring hands and the bus you call home
        Bm                   A                            G
This is it, believe what you want, in this space, I don't fit
    D
The same day repeats with the things that you see
      G
Dirty dressing room carpets and broken TVs
        Bm                     A                           G
Is this it? In this water I'll tread til' the day that I'm dead

G    D   Bm   A
Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
G   D   Bm  A
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
G                  D
Over and over, the light hits the dusk
       A                          Bm             D           G
It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up
    D       A                          D
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

D
Goodbye for now, echoes, echoes
Mile marker, minutes, hours
D                              G
If this is it and there is no more
And you believe that's true
       A                     G
It's a long way back from here
                 D (play same pattern as pre-chorus here twice over)
There's no going home

G    D   Bm   A
Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
G   D   Bm  A
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
G                  D
Over and over, the light hits the dusk
       A                          Bm             Dm          G
It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up
    D       A                          D
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay

G        D   Bm   A

(Goodbye for now, echoes, echoes)
                          Well, then ask me to stay
G        D        A          D
(Goodbye for now, echoes, echoes)
                          Well, then ask me to stay
