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