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