Intro
A5
[Verse 1]
Amaj7
The embers of memories, of the flame that is past
A7
The way that the drapes cling to the clasps
B7 Dm Amaj7
And the essence of all that rises and falls is the sound
[Verse 2]
Amaj7
The melody still lingers long after the song
A7
The way that the ground takes claim above
B7 Dm Amaj7
Of the essence of all above and below ground is the sound
[Chorus]
A A7
Well I used to think that life was just an accident
Em D
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
F Amaj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
Amaj7
Until I heard the sound.
[Verse 3]
Amaj7
The embers of memories, of the flame that is past
A7
The way that the drink cling to the cask
B7 Dm Amaj7
Oh the essence of all that collapses or crawls is the sound
[Chorus]
A A7
I used to think that life was just an accident
A7 Em D
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
F Amaj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
[Guitar Solo]

Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
