Intro
C#5
[Verse 1]
C#maj7
The embers of memories, of the flame that is past
C#7
The way that the drapes cling to the clasps
D#7 F#m C#maj7
And the essence of all that rises and falls is the sound
[Verse 2]
C#maj7
The melody still lingers long after the song
C#7
The way that the ground takes claim above
D#7 F#m C#maj7
Of the essence of all above and below ground is the sound
[Chorus]
C# C#7
Well I used to think that life was just an accident
G#m F#
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
A C#maj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
C#maj7
Until I heard the sound.
[Verse 3]
C#maj7
The embers of memories, of the flame that is past
C#7
The way that the drink cling to the cask
D#7 F#m C#maj7
Oh the essence of all that collapses or crawls is the sound
[Chorus]
C# C#7
I used to think that life was just an accident
C#7 G#m F#
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
A C#maj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
[Guitar Solo]
C#maj7 C#7 D#7 F#m C#7
[Chorus]
C# C#7
Well I used to think that life was just an accident
G#m F#
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
A C#maj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
[Outro]
C#maj7
Until I heard the sound.
C#maj7
Until I heard the sound.
C#maj7
Until I heard the sound.
