CHORUS
E Abm A C#m
I'll know her face a mile away
E Abm C#m A
I'll know her face a mile away
E Abm A C#m
I'll know her face a mile away
E Abm C#m A
I'll know her face a mile...
C#m A
... away
VERSE
Ab A
You'll be there in the slaughter
A#dim7 B
Freeing me when I'm cornered
C#m Cdim7
Being arrested by the mind cops
E F#m6 C#m
They're the only ones worth changing what you do for
B A
And I try to be in line
F#m6 E
I guide my fate
Cdim7 C#m
And what it's good for there's no telling
B
It's blood
A
It's a flood
CHORUS
C#m B A F#dim7
I'll know her face a mile away
C#m B Amaj7 A
She'll take me straight through that gate
C#m B A F#dim7
I'll know her face a mile away
C#m B Amaj7
She'll take me straight through that gate
VERSE
Ab A
Living there in a flower
A#dim7 B
You wouldn't have made it without her
C#m
Though she seems to stay in one place
Cdim7
She grows with your life
E
So cry for time
F#m6 C#m
What's slow is fast at the same time
B A
It comes to life
F#m6 E
And if it dies
Cdim7 C#m
You'd never notice cause it
B A
It slides as it climbs
CHORUS
E Abm A C#m
I'll know her face a mile away
E Abm C#m A
I'll know her face a mile away
E Abm A C#m
I'll know her face a mile away
E Abm C#m A
I'll know her face a mile away
E Abm A C#m
I'll know my pains a life away
E Abm C#m A
I'll know my pains a life away
E Abm A C#m
I'll know my pains a life away
E Abm C#m A
I'll know my pains a life...
C#m A
... away
