Verse 1
 
PAUSE
(fade in)
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
Well, I've been waking up under blades, blue blossom days
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
If only Damocles would hit me back
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
Would prevent my head from fading to black
 
 
Pre-Chorus
 
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
And it feels like falling into the sea
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
From outer space in seconds to me
G#m7 Amaj7sus2
And I play discordant days on repeat
B Amaj7sus2
Until they look like harmony
 
 
Chorus
 
Amaj7sus2
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
BHow will I know if I can't see the bottom?
C#m7Come up for air and choke on it all
ENo one else knows that I've got a problem
Amaj7sus2
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
EWhat if the diamond days are all gone
BAnd who will I be when the empire falls?
Emaj7Amaj7sus2
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten.

Verse 2
 
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
Well, I know I should be touring, I know these chords are boring
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
But I can't always be killing the game
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2 Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
No golden grand pianos or voices from the shadows will Do anythin' but feel the same
 
 
 
Pre-Chorus
 
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
And it feels like falling into the deep
Emaj7 Amaj7sus2
From somewhere way up over the peaks
G#m7 Amaj7sus2
And I play discordant days on repeat
G#m7 Amaj7sus2
Until the tape runs out on me
 
 
Chorus
 
Amaj7sus2
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
BHow will I know if I can't see the bottom?
C#m7Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I've got a problem
Amaj7sus2
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
EWhat if the diamond days are all gone
BAnd who will I be when the empire falls?
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
 
 
Bridge
 
F#m7 C#m7 E BAnd nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
Amaj7sus2 B F#m7When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
F#m7 C#m7 E BWell, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
Amaj7sus2 B F#m7When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell
 
 
Chorus
 
Amaj7sus2
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
BHow will I know if I can't see the bottom?
C#m7Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I've got a problem
Amaj7sus2
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
EWhat if the diamond days are all gone
BAnd who will I be when the empire falls?
E Amaj7sus2
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
