Chords
pin

PRE-INTRO:   Bm - Bsus2

INTRO: D | D/C# | Em | Em - A

VERSE:
  Bm            D
I wish that I could be
A              G
In the cellars of the sea
    Bm            D
And disappear in them
A            G
Never to be seen again

Bm       D
Live this life
    A            G
Its unrelenting appetite
    Bm            D
For feeding off the weak
    A                G
Who never had their time to speak

PRECHORUS:
    Bm             Gmaj7
The sky will be my shroud
  Em         G   A
A monumental cloud

CHORUS: 
            D                          D/C#
If we could turn back, you can't paper over the crack
             Em                                     A
But it will return now, and your heart will burn black

VERSE:
Bm       D
Give me your hand
A             G
Cut the skin, let me in
    Bm           D
The molecules of us
 A            G
Bleeding into one again

PRECHORUS:
    Bm             Gmaj7
The sky will be my shroud
  Em            G    A
The cenotaph of cloud


CHORUS: 
            D                          D/C#
If we could turn back, you can't paper over the crack
             Em                                     A
But it will return now, and your heart will burn black
             D                          D/C#
Forgotten my way home, forgotten everything that I know
             Em                          Em6  A
Every day a false start, and it burns my heart

BRIDGE 1:
  D
I know
A                                    Gmaj7
Everything you said was right, and I suppose
 Bm                                 D
Everything is here forever, till it goes
     A                                 Gmaj7
You gave it all away, kept nothing for yourself
Just a picture on the shelf

FRENCH:
Bm - Gmaj7 - Em - G - A

Je souhaiterais merger
Dans les profondeurs des mers
Y disparatre
Pour ne plus jamais tre vu

BRIDGE 2:
        D
Burning up now
        A                           Em
And I'm racing down a road I don't recognise
I realise I've

CHORUS:
              D                       D/C#
Forgotten my way home, forgotten everything that I know
            Em                           Em6   A
Every day a false start, and it burns my heart
D - D/C# - Em - A
Turn B(l?)ack

D | D/C# | Em | Em - A

OUTRO: Bm
