[Intro]
Em     C     G     D     x2

[Verse]
Em         C               G               D
   Running down around the towns along the shore
Em       C                 G        D
   I was sixteen and on my own
Em                   C                 G                      D
   Though 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
   We'd all get in the van and play
Em                 C            G                  D
   Life became the Paradox, the Bear, the Rouge et Noir
Em                  C                 G           D
   And a stretch of road running to L.A.

[Pre-Chorus]
Em       C        G             D
   Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Em                   C                     G           D
   Straight into the night our hearts were flung

[Chorus]
       C              G          D             C         G   D
Better bring your own redemption when you come
       C             G      D             C
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from

[Instrumental]
Em     C     G     D     x2

[Verse]
Em        C                 G                  D
   All        the world was shining from those hills
Em            C                     G          D
   The stars above and the lights below
Em             C                   G                  D
   Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills
Em        C                        G        D
   I lost track of the score long ago

[Pre-Chorus]
Em       C        G             D
   Pages turning, pages we were years from learning
Em                   C                     G           D
   Straight into the night our hearts were flung

[Chorus]
       C              G          D             C         G   D
Better bring your own redemption when you come
       C             G      D             C
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from

[Bridge]
Em           F         C
   Childhood comes for me at night
Em        F     C
   Voices of my friends
Em           F       C
   Your face bathing me in light
Em           F     C
   Hope that never ends

[Instrumental Verse]
Em     C     G     D     x4

[Pre-Chorus]
Em       C        G              D
   Pages turning, pages torn and pages burning
Em                C           G           D
   Faded pages,   open in the sun

[Chorus]
       C              G          D        C         G   D
Better bring your own redemption when you come
       C             G      D             C
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
       C              G          D        C         G   D
Better bring your own redemption when you come
       C             G      D             C
To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
