[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
The embers of memories, of the flame that is past
C7
The way that the drapes cling to the clasps
D7 Fm Cmaj7
And the essence of all that rises and falls is the sound
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
The melody still lingers long after the song
C7
The way that the ground takes claim above
D7 Fm Cmaj7
Of the essence of all above and below ground is the sound
[Chorus]
C C7
Well I used to think that life was just an accident
Gm F
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
Ab Cmaj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
Cmaj7
Until I heard the sound.
[Verse 3]

The embers of memories, of the flame that is past

Oh the essence of all that collapses or crawls is the sound

I used to think that life was just an accident

Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
Ab Cmaj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
