Today I would learn the art of leaving earth
A# G#
the calculus of sin and salvation

The war I waged with death was far above my head,
A# G#
the winds of Heaven met the gates of Hell.
D# Cm
The angels sang eternally, while the demons were encouraging
A# G#
all that was inside of me to give up hope.
G# A# Cm G# A# Cm
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
G# A# Cm G# A# G# G#
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.

You were standing there, running a brush through your blonde hair,
A# G#
unconcerned with the affair, because you had faith.
D# Cm
But I wish it came so easily to a boy afraid of everything,
A# G#
but this felt like an awakening, it felt so free.
G# A# Cm G# A# Cm
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.
G# A# Cm G# A# Cm
This is how it feels, this is how it feels.

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