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