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