Speed Of Darkness Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Em G A Bm D F♯m

If you're playing the electric parts, I suggest you play power chords for the verse and

just single

root notes for the second part of the verse, and strum the chorus. That sounds the best

to me but feel

free to have fun and strum however you please :)

Bury me in silence

For I'll never hear the truth

VERSE 2.1 and 2.2 same as before

It's something of a pity

But you'll never understand

How a boy can grow and

Still never be a man

I would trade the sun for nothing

And the glancing of a star

If you could just remember

Grains of dust is all we are

It only takes a second

For a beat to kill a heart

VERSE 3.1 and 3.2 same as before

You tore this land asunder

If you could just remember

Grains of dust is all we are

It only takes a second

For beat to kill a heart

Chorus 2
