Intro
G#5
G#5 G#maj7 G#5 G#maj7 x4
[Verse 1]
C# E B
Under an eclipse of ever-rising feeling
C# E
Moving faster through my veins
B C#
And bleeding out the sun
E B
That's beating down our necks
C# E B A
And burning my eyes
[Pre Chorus]
C# E B
If this is a crutch for the weak
A G#
Then I am the least of these
C# E B
So cut off my arms and break my legs
A G#
So I don't feel this anymore
C# E B A G#
Choking on all of the feeling
C# E B A G#
That I'm swallowing in
[Chorus]
C# C#m E B A C#
Tasting the failure on my lips
C#m E B A C#
That I've lead in
C#m E B A C#
That I've lead in
C#m E B A
That I've lead in
[Breakdown]
G# x4
G#
And this is my last chance for survival
G#
C# last ditch effort to cure my ache
[Verse 2]
C# C#m E
We're so vain aren't we?
B A C#
We're so proud and empty
C#m E B A C#
We're left leaning on our only intrigue
C#m E B A C#
The lies that I've told they won't bury us whole
C#m E B A
They won't find us in time
[Bridge Breakdown]
This is the end of the story that I can't forget

[Outro]
F# D F# A
This goes far be-yond our loyalties
F# D F# A
And we feign as a shield
F# D F# A
That's teeming with guilt and resonance
F# D F#
But we held our heads so high
