Intro: F#m--D-E (x2)





Verse 1:

             F#m

the smell of incense

             D               E

it fills the air inside this room

        F#m                            D    E

cast of light colorly strewn about the floor

  F#m

a casket lined with pills

        D               E

and the bitter taste of absinth

           F#m            D              E

to wash it down and so it ends like it began





Chorus 1:

     A    E/G#        F#m  

at a cross along this interstate

          D                        E

a worn inscription all cracked and faded

             A           E/G#         F#m

these actions will remain when bodies turn to dust

              D

and from this monument

       E                                F#m--D-E(x2)

i will drown inside the anguish of your heart





Verse 2:

  F#m

a new dawn broke this morning

           D               E

tears were raining in this room

   F#m

as pure as holy water

           D         E

reflecting images of you

     F#m

this world is like a whore

   D             E        F#m

so ravish and so beautiful

                        D   E

so bitter cold and all alone





Chorus 2:

                A        E/G#           F#m

and if i had my way we'd wake up on the day we met

                    D

i'd stare into your heart for hours

                    E

and try to make you hear the sweetest thoughts

          A        E/G#            F#m

but not tonight we die inside each others arms

                  D

we'd revel in our last embrace

                           E

i'd steal the breath right from your heart

                   D--E--A--F#m

and kiss you as we die





Bridge:

  D                E              A        F#m

i rest my lifeless head upon your heart forever (x3)

  maybe i'll bring you sunlight after all i'm sorry

D                      E              A       F#m

  maybe i'll greet sunlight after all
