CAPO 6:
B
B G#m
Today I would learn the art of leaving earth
F# E
the calculus of sin and salvation
B G#m F# E
B G#m
The war I waged with death was far above my head,
F# E
the winds of Heaven met the gates of Hell.
B G#m
The angels sang eternally, while the demons were encouraging
F# E
all that was inside of me to give up hope.
E F# G#m E F# G#m
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
E F# G#m E F# E E
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
B G#m F# E
B G#m
You were standing there, running a brush through your blonde hair,
F# E
unconcerned with the affair, because you had faith.
B G#m
But I wish it came so easily to a boy afraid of everything,
F# E
but this felt like an awakening, it felt so free.
E F# G#m E F# G#m
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
E F# G#m E F# G#m
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
E F# G#m E F# E E
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.

B E
When the hourglass drained, I swear my world was shuttering.
B E
When the hourglass drained, I swear I felt the summer rain.
B E
When the hourglass drained, I swear it was my wedding day.
B E B
When the hourglass drained, I found what I'd been missing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
E B
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
E B E E
This is how it feels, this is how it feels, this is how it feels...
B G#m
For thy mortal self shall die, but from the grave we will arise
F# E
and death will be described as a paper ghost.
