[Intro]
Em  C  G  D  x2
Em        C              G               D
  Running down along the towns along the shore
Em           C                 G         D
  When I was sixteen and on my own
Em              C                 G                      D
  No I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for
Em           C                 G           D
  I was just trying to hear my song
Em  C  G  D  
Em                C                       G             D
  Jimmy found his own sweet sound when he won that free guitar
Em             C                   G            D
  And we'd all get in the van and play
Em                C            G                  D
  Life became the Paradox, the Bell, the Rouge et noir
Em                   C               G            D
  And the stretch of road running to L.A.
[Bridge]
Em          C
  Pages turning
G               D
  Pages we were years from learning
        Em                  C                     G       D
          Straight into the night our hearts were flung
(PLAY REGULAR "C" and "D" for chorus)
               
[Chorus]  
     C                G       D           C   G   D
Better bring your own redemtion when you come
       C                G    D         C
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
Em  C  G  D  x2
Em  C               G                  D
  All the world was shining from those hills
Em                C                    G        D
  With the stars above and the lights below
Em              C                   G               D
  Among those there to test their fortune and their will
Em       C                       G         D
  I lost track of the score long ago
[Bridge, Chorus]
Em         F          C/E
  Childhood comes for me at night
Em           F       C/E
  The voices of my friends
Em           F      C/E
  Your face bathing me in light
Em            F      C/E
  I hope that never ends
Em  C  G  D  x4
Em        C
  Pages turning
  G                D
  Pages torn and pages burning
Em             C           G        D
  Faded pages open in the sun
[Chorus] x2
Em  C  G  D  (FADE)
