CAPO 6:
A#
A# Gm
Today I would learn the art of leaving earth
F D#
the calculus of sin and salvation
A# Gm F D#
A# Gm
The war I waged with death was far above my head,
F D#
the winds of Heaven met the gates of Hell.
A# Gm
The angels sang eternally, while the demons were encouraging
F D#
all that was inside of me to give up hope.
D# F Gm D# F Gm
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
D# F Gm D# F D# D#
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
A# Gm F D#
A# Gm
You were standing there, running a brush through your blonde hair,
F D#
unconcerned with the affair, because you had faith.
A# Gm
But I wish it came so easily to a boy afraid of everything,
F D#
but this felt like an awakening, it felt so free.
D# F Gm D# F Gm
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
D# F Gm D# F Gm
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
D# F Gm D# F D# D#
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
A# D#
A# D#
When the hourglass drained, I swear my world was shuttering.
A# D#
When the hourglass drained, I swear I felt the summer rain.
A# D#
When the hourglass drained, I swear it was my wedding day.
A# D# A#
When the hourglass drained, I found what I'd been missing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
D# A#
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
D# A# D# D#
This is how it feels, this is how it feels, this is how it feels...
A# Gm
For thy mortal self shall die, but from the grave we will arise
F D#
and death will be described as a paper ghost.
