Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Db Ebm Ab Bbm
Before today this body bore the burden of his kind
Gb Ab Bbm Abm
The quest to learn why I was made, the endless search for signs
Ebm Bb B Ebm
Through all my rage and tender stages, through decades drenched in blood
F Bbm Gb Ab
The source of our existence came between the ones I loved
Db Ebm Ab Bbm
The __ spring of our live is me, a power beyond belief
Gb Ab Bbm Abm
She feeds me understanding and overwhelming sense of peace
Ebm Bb B Ebm
From what I've learned I've come to terms with bonds of brotherhood
F Bbm Gb Ab
I'm seeing clearly now when I never thought I could
Bbm C
I'll never make another, to satisfy desire
F Bbm
Blame God for family only orchestrates the fire
G Cm
I know to slave the innocent is wrong
F Bb
And from the dead this new awakening comes
Ab Eb Cm
And from the dead I feel the strength I've never known
Ab Bb
A thrill that fills my heart helping me to stand alone
Ab Eb Cm
And from the dead their ancient eyes watch over me
Ab Bb Eb
It seems from death this tortured heart is finally free
Ab Eb Cm
And from the dead there comes a healing and a hope
Ab Bb
Like music on the wind, the perfect pitching of a note
Ab Eb Cm
And from the dead the cold pale moon begins to bleed
Ab Bb Eb
It seems from death I sense this night was made for me
Bbm C
I only take what's evil to satiate my thirst
F Bbm
Prey on those who murder, I'll only drain the worst
G Cm
I know to slay the innocent is wrong
F Bb
And from the dead this new awakening comes
(repeat chorus)
Ab Bb Eb
It seems from death I sense this night was made for me
