          Bm                                 A                 D
She had a smile that would make you put your faith in the Lord
            Bm                   A           D G
She was the unspoken truth I was lookin' for
        Bm                      A               D
I was a bitter-hearted twister, I was a refugee
       G                 A           D
Just a scared little boy lost at sea

             Bm                 A             D
She said she kissed my lips and she just knew
           Bm            A          D G
And in her sunset eyes I saw it too
         Bm                 A                 D
But this world has a way of breaking you down
         G                    A              D
'Til the fire that burned now can't be found

[Chorus]
        G                       A                 D
I guess no one really knows the price that's paid
          G                   A              D
And there ain't no heart that goes scot-free
  G                      A             D F#m/C# Bm A
I hear the bells ringing from far away
        G                    A
And the future ain't what it used to be

Bm                        A      A/C# D
When it turned to dust, I cannot say
            Bm                    A       A/E D
I guess she lost her faith when I lost my way
         Bm                    A         A/C#  D
Though I loved her more than I dreamed I could
  G                         A          D
A coward now stands where a hero stood

[Chorus]
        G                       A                 D
I guess no one really knows the price that's paid
          G                   A              D
And there ain't no heart that goes scot-free
  G                      A             D F#m/C# Bm A
I hear the bells ringing from far away
        G                    A
And the future ain't what it used to be

       Bm                   A            D G
To the anguished tears that sunset cried
             G                 A    A/C# A/G A/E D
She couldn't give anymore, her love ran out -----
