Quiet Ballad Of Ed

A  E F#m  D

A                 E
  In shadow there lies hope
                   F#m
Cut tension with a knife
                  D
I find it hard to cope
                     A
Stop playing with my life
            E
You analyse my fears
         F#m
Analyse my dreams
                 D
Choke on burning tears
                  F#m
Through my silent screams
Dm                         A
   Things aren't what they seem
               E                    F#m
Tell a hundred craftsmen to work on me
                  D                 A
Tell this army of angels to make me breathe
     E                           F#m
Open doors just to take away the key
                 D                         A  E  F#m  D
I'll let you all see that I'm doing better

         A
Watch me fall
                     E
As I stumble at your feet
                      F#m
Always losing in this game
                 D
Your lies cut me deep
                           A
And you don't even know my name
          E
With your consistency
                  F#m
To always watch me crawl
               D
And my durability
                   F#m
Not affected at all
Dm                               A   E
   Still things aren't what they seem
A                E                    F#m
  Tell a hundred craftsmen to work on me
                  D                 A
Tell this army of angels to make me breathe
     E                           F#m
Open doors just to take away the key
                 D                       F#m
I'll let you all see that I'm doing better
D                    A  E  F#m
 That I'm doing better

F#m
   Feel the pain
D
 On my brain
A
 Feel the strain
     E
As I start to decay
F#m
   Feel the strain
D
 Every passing day
A
Feel the pain
     E
As I start to decay
A                E                    F#m
  Tell a hundred craftsmen to work on me
                  D                 A
Tell this army of angels to make me breathe
     E                           F#m
Open doors just to take away the key
                 D                        A  E  F#m D
I'll let you all see that I'm doing better
