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

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