Standard Tuning 
 
Capo on the 4th fret 




  Intro:    G      D      Em      C       

G                                D 
 Everyday I get a little bit closer 
            Em                               C 
 To the resolution that I am not yet bulletproof 
          G 
 Oh, the battle within rages on and on 
      D 
 The neighborhood seemed so small 
       Em 
 The church on the corner 

 Has steps good for waiting 
 C 
 I should go in 

 But I'm tired of praying 
     A7 
 And anyway 


    C              G 
 I can't stop the bells 
  D                         Em 
 Ringing since you've been gone 
     C                  G 
 I thought I was moving on 
     D                  Em 
 But I think of nothing else 
     C               G 
 I can't break the spell 
     B7                  Em 
 I still hear you every place 
           C                  G 
 Can't forget what I saw in your face 
        D 
 I know every inch so well 

 G 
 I can't stop the bells 
                 D 
 Can't stop the bells 

 Can't stop the bells 
 Em 
 I can't stop the bells 
                 C 
 Can't stop the bells 


G                                    D 
 And it doesn't even matter what's going on 
                  Em 
 The sound in my head is constant 
                     C 
 And I can't turn it off 
          G 
 Oh, and patience is hard 

 When you just don't know 
   D 
 Where all the waiting is taking you 
       Em 
 The church on the corner 

 Torn down in December 
       C 
 That kiss in the doorway 

 I still won't surrender 
     A7 
 And anyway 


    C              G 
 I can't stop the bells 
  D                         Em 
 Ringing since you've been gone 
     C                  G 
 I thought I was moving on 
     D                  Em 
 But I think of nothing else 
     C               G 
 I can't break the spell 
     B7                  Em 
 I still hear you every place 
             C                     G 
 You don't know what you left in your wake 
     D 
 I guess I'm not so well 


C                        G 
 I hope you feel what I feel for a moment 
       D          Em 
 Just see what I see 
C                        G 
 Then you'd know that I won't find peace 
    A                      (G) 
 Until you'll come back to me 


 C      G      D      Em 


     C                  G 
 I thought I was moving on 
     D                  Em 
 But I think of nothing else 
    C              G 
 I can't stop the bells 
     B7                  Em 
 I still hear you every place 
           C                  G 
 Can't forget what I saw in your face 
        D 
 I know every inch so well 

G 
 I can't stop the bells 
                 D 
 Can't stop the bells 

 Can't stop the bells 
 Em 
 I can't stop the bells 
                 C       G 
 Can't stop the bells
