Em I have been cruel and kind without knowing C I fell into silence overwhelmed by these days Am For I had been shown empty rulers, B7 ruling all things Em Thinking the world was mine to lay hold of C I breathed in the promise of maiden and man Am But each had their own illusions B7 to hold on to Em D C I only want to be left to my own ways Em D C Bm The rulers have won leaving all things undone Em D C I've stood in awe of the whole creation Bm C Gathered among them was the morning Em Giving all its rest Em Thinking the world was mine to be lost in C I ran with a freedom and sang in between Am For I had the path of wonder B7 There before me Em D C I only want to be left to my own ways Em D C Bm The rulers have won leaving all things undone Em D C I've stood in awe of the whole creation Bm C Gathered among them was the morning Giving all its rest (Solo) Em C Am B7 Em D C I only want to be left to my own ways Em D C Bm The rulers have won leaving all things undone Em D C I've stood in awe of the whole creation Bm C Gathered among them was the morning Em Giving all its rest D C I only want to be left to my own ways Em D C Bm The rulers have won leaving all things undone Em D C I've stood in awe of the whole creation Bm C Gathered among them was the morning Em Giving all its rest
