[Verse 1]
F
Upon this day, if all else fails
Gm7
It seems we'll have to face the truth

I believe for my part in this thing

I really did love you

What you loved was love itself
Gm7
And trying to make a lie come true
Eb
I believe for your part in this thing
Bb
You hardly even knew
[Chorus]
Am7 Dm
All along the city streets
Gm7 C
You can hear the voices swell

Like the ringing of bells

Memories on days like these
[Próxima Parte]

They echo like the rain in wells
F
Like the ringing of bells
[Verse 2]
F
The saturation point's been reached
Gm7
Can't soak up any more regrets
Eb
I believe from the start of this thing
Bb
I must have paid some debts

Looking at you now and then

You seem to be like someone else

I believe at the heart of this thing

You hardly knew yourself
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]

They echo like the sea in shells

Like the ringing of bells
[Solo]

[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]

Run deeper than time can tell
F
Like the ringing of bells
F
A ringing of bells
F
A ringing of bells
