Marble Steps

	  		 
Intro: G  

Verso 1: 
  G 
I climb the marble  
 Em               C  D 
stairs that lead away 
 G             Em 
Away from everything  
          D 
I used to know 
  G              Em 
I try to keep my eyes  
            C  D 
down on the way 
    D 
The way my mother  
C              D 
told me not to go 
     G          Em 
Well all I ever wanted was 
  D 
A hand to hold me down 
   G 
To keep the sky from  
Em              D 
  swallowing me up 
    G          Em 
And all I ever needed  
        D 
was someone to come around 
    C 
And tell me that I've  
               C 
suffered long enough 

   G    D/F# Em 
So take me  away 
Em   C    D 
Find me a home 
    G  D/F# Em 
I'm on my   way 
          Em D Em 
I'm on my way 


Verso 2: 
  G 
I wonder when I'll  
Em             C   D 
see the stars again 
  G 
I thought that they  
    Em          D 
had faded long ago 
     G 
With every step I'm  
Em            C  D 
closer to the end 
    D 
I'm climbing cause I  
C                   D 
don't know where to go 
     G          Em 
Well all I ever wanted was 
  D 
A place to store my faith 
  G 
I thought that I could  
Em              D 
keep it locked away 
   G 
It burns my eyes  
   Em 
to look at him 
    D 
And see the truth inside 
    D 
And so I turn my  
             C 
broken face away

Ponte: 
Em         D 
  I always dreamed of 
       C         D 
Sundays together with you 
Em          D 
  Only your echoes can 
         C 
break my heart 
Em         D 
  I need a hand to hold me 
C            D 
  to keep me on land 
Em           D 
  I fear I'm drifting 
         C 
too far apart 

Verso 3: 
     G          Em 
Well all I ever wanted was 
  D 
A hand to hold me down 
   G 
To keep the sky from  
Em              D 
  swallowing me up 
    G          Em 
And all I ever needed  
        D 
was someone to come around 
    C 
And tell me that I've  
               C  
suffered long enough
