[INTRO]
[Cmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Dm] [Dm/F] [G6]
[VERSE 1]
[Cmaj7]Do you see that young pretender
[Fmaj7]With the tear-marks on his face
[Dm]His dark eyes burning when he [G6]talks
[Cmaj7]I knew him in his splendour
[Fmaj7]I've known him in disgrace
[Dm]Who'll cut him down from this [G6]rock
[PRE-CHORUS]
[Am]He says bring me my horses
[Em7]My symbols and my wheels
And we'll [Fmaj7]speak with our souls for a [Dm]while [G6]
'Cause I'm [Am]sick and I'm torn
And I [Em7]long to be healed
And the [Fmaj7]truth's been too [Dm]long out of [G6]style [G6/C] [G6]
[CHORUS]
[G6]In my time on this earth [Fmaj7]
I [C]will speak the [G]secret
In my time on earth [Fmaj7]
I will [C]tell what is [G]true
In my time on earth [Fmaj7]
I will [C]say what the [G]heart knows
In my time on earth [Fmaj7]
I will [C]say I am [G]you
[VERSE 2]
[Cmaj7]I'm so tired of the sound
[Fmaj7]My old fingers make
[Dm]As they tease and torment my gui[G6]tar
[Cmaj7]And the man on my screen
[Fmaj7]Is an actor and a fake
[Dm]Yet he preens like a golden super[G6]star
[PRE-CHORUS]
[Am]I cried in her arms
When the [Em7]darkening day was done
And I [Fmaj7]smelt the burning city in her [Dm]hair [G6]
And the [Am]word on the tips
Of a [Em7]thousand million tongues
Went [Fmaj7]unspoken
While a [Dm]lie sped every[G6]where [G6/C] [G6]
[CHORUS]
[G6]In my time on this earth [Fmaj7]
I [C]will speak the [G]secret
In my time on earth [Fmaj7]
I will [C]tell what is [G]true
In my time on earth [Fmaj7]
I will [C]say what the [G]heart knows
In my time on earth [Fmaj7]
I will [C]say I am [G]you
[VERSE 3]
[Cmaj7]Now November is here
[Fmaj7]With its carpet of leaves
[Dm]And the songs of the dead fill my [G6]ears
[Cmaj7]All the champions are fallen
[Fmaj7]All the heroes are deceived
[Dm]And the world they made has disap[G6]peared
[PRE-CHORUS]
[Am]So let's tell it like is, man
[Em7]Let's nail it on the line
Let's be [Fmaj7]clean with our tongues from here on [Dm]in [G6]
For [Am]we're deep in the heart
Of the [Em7]enemy's design
Just [Fmaj7]waiting for the [Dm]breakout to be[G6]gin [G6/C] [G6]
[CHORUS]
[G6]In my time on this earth [Fmaj7]
I [C]will speak the [G]secret
In my time on earth [Fmaj7]

I will [C]say what the [G]heart knows
In my time on earth [Fmaj7]
I will [C]say I am [G]you

I will [C]say I am [G]you
