It went so well for you.

F#m                   E               D               E
With a place right where you wanted, and the ones to fill it too.

Bm         A          D       A
But some blows break the spell.

F#m            E               D               E
That it hits you every day, until you need to hit as well

F#m              Esus E       A                      Esus  E
Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see

F#m                  Esus  E     A                       Esus  E

(Repeat the above riff over the following four lines)

D                  Bm   E          F#m
I know there is no need for what’s been done

D                  Bm  E        F#m
I know there is enough for everyone

D                    Bm    E       F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear

D                    Bm   E            F#m
And there never is a hand outside that cares

(see below for the guitar solo that runs through the following section)

D                          Bm     E       F#m
Still the promise comes of living fit for all

D                  Bm   E           F#m
If we only get our back against the wall

D                    Bm     E            F#m
I look at backs that pushed the wall for years

D                          Bm  E    F#m
Scarred by many knives and too much fear

To simplify the tab for the following part I've used the following

T = Twenty first fret
W = Twenty second fret
