 The truth is all that you're left with.
Dm                    Em7
 Twenty paces then at dawn,

we will die and be reborn.

 I like to sleep beneath the trees,
Am
 have the universe at one with me.
Dm                         E7
 Look down the barrel of a gun,
                              Asus4   A7
and feel the moon replace the sun.

The chord progression in the bridge section is so incredibly good. Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it.

There is a mistake in naming the chord Em7. In tabs and in fact it is a E7 chord.
