      Damascus – Nathan Gray

[Verse]
Em			       C
Dear old friend this is the end
C				     G
this road begins and ends with death
G		               D
And I can't wait here anymore
		   Em
As I'm called to justify defeat
		C
My heart is breaking here on my knees
	   G		D		Em
And every word falls silently ………….ignored


[Chorus]
		C					G
When in the stillness of the night I screamed your name
	D				       Em
No shining light no not a word you never came
	     C					G
So I have come to lay these flowers at your grave
	D		Em
And move on in my name


[Verse]
Em				C
Through these years I've lost control
C			       G
traded my life for nothing more
G					D
Than fevered dreams of shame and doubt
Em						      C
While I lay screaming bleeding please if you're alive you're still dead to me
		         G
And I know I'm all alone
	  D
so I will leave


[Chorus]
		C					G
When in the stillness of the night I screamed your name
	D				       Em
No shining light no not a word you never came
	     C					G
So I have come to lay these flowers at your grave
	D		Em
And move on in my name
