[Verse]
E(b9)  Am
You of grace
Dm  G
     Many ghosts alive
       C    Cmaj7   C7
in my mind
F             G
 Many paths I wish I'd taken
C                        F
Many times I thought I'd break
 Dm               G
'Cause in kind it seems to be
Am   E(b9)  Am            Dm
   A way  beyond the bends
G                  C    Cmaj7   C7
 There be songs to play
F                   G
 There be grace for everyone
    C                  F
And calmer days will arrive
    Dm           G
And we would not need to ask

[Chorus]
A   F
Why everything
G
 In this world been lost
 C           Cmaj7   C7
 ever since?
F          G
 And we're not giving in
Am              E(b9)  Am   Dm
 We're not gonna shy  away
G                  C
 We're growing tall with
         Cmaj7   C7
 the pain
F                G
 We're searching the everglades
C                  F
 Pursuing god with changе
    Dm            G
And furthermore I think
              C
it's just too late
