* I prefer to play like this (i slide my left hand,
it sounds better but you can only play F - A then A - F)

Verse 1:
F#m
In the valley of the dying sun
A
I walk a crooked path alone
F#m
I came across the shadow of a man
A
With an angel's breath

Pre-chorus 1:
   F   
'O boy' he said to me
             A     A - Ab - G - F# - F* (quickly)
'I see your future'
F                         F - F# - G - Ab - A*
'Though you long for peace
A
The sword is your father

Chorus:
Bm
I'm thinking of you
              F#m          E
I'm thinking of you when I kill a good man
                      A           
(To keep myself from being killed by him)
Bm
I'm thinking of you
              F#m          E
I'm thinking of you when I hold my girl
                       A
(And wonder if she'll ever love again)
Bm                                
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of,
            F#m               E
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you
            A
(Wash the blood off my hands)
Bm                                
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of,
            F#m              E
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you

Verse 2 (as verse 1):
Bathed in the powder of a thousand guns
I am the king of sorrows
Watered by the tears of the innocent ones
The river grows
It moves
It swells

Pre-chorus 2 (as pre-chorus 1):
'Son' It calls to me
'Your days are numbered
Sow the seeds you will
But I am the reaper'

Chorus

Bridge:
  F#m
I howled at the moon like a wolf in the night
F#m
You want to finish it

We're gonna finish it right
F#m
And then I felt it with a chill up my spine

There are no words to use that truly describe
F#m
The glory of the angel or the terror in me

Tonight will be my ending or tonight my new beginning

Others: F#m, Bm, A, C#

D                E
All through the night
   F#m          E
I wrestled the angel
    D        C#m
To undo the curse
        Bm          F#m       E
That's burdened me all of my life


Bm           F#m       E           A
And for the first time I could see
Bm           F#m     E    A
That God was not my enemy
Bm                  F#m  E                  A
I'm thinking of you,    I'm thinking of you
Bm                  F#m  E                  A
I'm thinking of you,    I'm thinking of you

Bm, F#m, E, A, Bm, F#m, E, A, E - Esus4 - E

Ending:
F#m
Like pieces of the sun
A
Our light burns on and on and on
F#m                             A
Like stars in the night sky we shine
               F            F - F# - G - Ab - A       
I'm living to shine on, I'm living to        shine on,
    A - Ab - G - F#* - F      
I'm living to        shine on,
     F - F# - G - Ab* - A                       A
I'm living to          shine on, I'm living to shine on
               A
I'm living to shine on
