Verse:
G Bm
I waded through the darkest fields you'd imagine
G Bm
Your pretty face sketched on the barrel of my gun
C G2 D
And I know you'll be the first to welcome me
C G2 D
When I climb into eternity
C G
Oh, oh
G Bm
The forest always kept us warm
G Bm
But it doesn't feel like home anymore
C G2 D
And I know there's bigger mountains where you are
C G2 D
And a better climate for my heart
C G
Oh, oh
Chorus:
C
I've been racing the clock
And I've run out of steam
Em D
I am ready for my final symphony
C
Oh my body is weak
But my soul is still strong
Em D
I am ready to rest in your arms

Oh, oh

Oh my body is weak
But my soul is still strong

I am ready to rest in your arms
Bridge: (x2)

And the rain beat down on the rooftops

But there was no sound

There was no sound

And all my friends and family carried me
Em
They carried me home

They carried me home
Chorus:
C
Oh, I've been racing the clock
And I've run out of steam
Em D
I am ready for my final symphony
C
Oh my body is weak
But my soul is still strong
Em D
I am ready to rest in your arms
C
I've been racing the clock
