Intro
A#5
[Verse 1]
A#maj7
The embers of memories, of the flame that is past
A#7
The way that the drapes cling to the clasps
C7 D#m A#maj7
And the essence of all that rises and falls is the sound
[Verse 2]
A#maj7
The melody still lingers long after the song
A#7
The way that the ground takes claim above
C7 D#m A#maj7
Of the essence of all above and below ground is the sound
[Chorus]
A# A#7
Well I used to think that life was just an accident
Fm D#
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
Gb A#maj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
A#maj7
Until I heard the sound.
[Verse 3]
A#maj7
The embers of memories, of the flame that is past
A#7
The way that the drink cling to the cask
C7 D#m A#maj7
Oh the essence of all that collapses or crawls is the sound
[Chorus]
A# A#7
I used to think that life was just an accident
A#7 Fm D#
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
Gb A#maj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
