Tuning: E A D G B E

Absolute banger from the new C&C album. Play all chords as power chords. There's a little lick at the end of the bridge that I couldn't quite make out but most of it is here. Lead guitar plays this simple little lick throughout the verses and at the intro. I think there's an echo effect being used, otherwise it's a different lick being played I can't make out. e|---------------------------------| B|---------------------------------| G|-14---16-14---14-14---16-14---14-| D|----0-------0-------0-------0----| A|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| [Intro] D G B A G x2 [Verse]

^DCarry them over your shoulders, you fear ^GThe absence, the void you'll cause When you choose to leave them all h^Bere There's no turning ^Aback, it's time that you ^Gsteer

Th^De wide open stairs back alone at the cusp T^Ghe self that you thought you lost, the shine that burned well int^Bo rest You can't hear my ^Avoice cause' I'm not loud ^Genough

Be^Dlieve me, when I ^Gsay B A G (palm mute) It's a long way back from here

^GHang ^Don, ^Bit's ^Aclear that the roads about to get rough ^GOh, ^Dcan ^Byou ^Ahear the ringing its left in my ear? ^GOver and over, the ^Dlight hits the dusk It's a ^Achoice that I make but for ^Bus I choose to ^Dgive it all up ^GYou ^Dwant me ^Ahere? Well, then ask me to ^Dstay

[Verse] The glistening wet concrete, the heat off the road The clamoring hands and the bus you call home This is it, believe what you want, in this space, I don't fit The same day repeats with the things that you see Dirty dressing room carpets and broken TVs Is this it? In this water I'll tread til' the day that I'm dead [Chorus] Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear? Over and over, the light hits the dusk It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay [Bridge]

Goodbye for now, echoes, echoes Mile marker, minutes, hours

^DIf this is it and there is no m^Gore And you believe that's true It's a ^Along way back from her^Ge (play same pattern as pre-chorus here twice over) There's no going home

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

^G(Goodbye ^Dfor ^Bnow, ^Aechoes, echoes) Well, then ask me to stay

^G(Goodbye ^Dfor now, ^Aechoes, ^Bechoe^Ds) Well, then ask me to stay

^G(Goodbye ^Dfor now, ^Aecho, echoe^Ds) Well, then ask me to stay
