gI've walked the diGstance, I paid my duCes and tried to have a GCo
at what I thogught I knew was rGeal, hCeld no apCpeal

for every cogin that I could stGeal      C            C 

---Verse 2 (melody variant 2):
And sgo I caGme to gCaze upCon the stgarsG, Cwhen they were yCet unborn

And cgonseqGuently, tCear at Cmy old gscaGrs, and theC mask I hadC outworn

gYeah, when I'm coGld as a dCyinCg stone

---Chorus:
gGrow me a gaGrden of CroseCs

gTeach me to spGeak with their CvoicCes
gShow me the wGay and I'll tCry aCgain

---Instrumental (as intro)

---Verse 3 (melody variant 1):
I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I
behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you
away the seed

---Verse 4 (melody variant 2):
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn

---Prechorus

---Chorus

---Middle eight:
CWithgout you I'm noCthing at alGl
CAnd lgife has the faCce of a mGorbid gaCme
With gyou nothing is impCossiblGe
It Call seems to gfit the fGrame g  

---Prechorus

---Chorus * 3 with fade on the last one
