Intro
G5
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7
The embers of memories, of the flame that is past
G7
The way that the drapes cling to the clasps
A7 Cm Gmaj7
And the essence of all that rises and falls is the sound
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7
The melody still lingers long after the song
G7
The way that the ground takes claim above
A7 Cm Gmaj7
Of the essence of all above and below ground is the sound
[Chorus]
G G7
Well I used to think that life was just an accident
Dm C
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
Eb Gmaj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
Gmaj7
Until I heard the sound.
[Verse 3]

The embers of memories, of the flame that is past

The way that the drink cling to the cask

Oh the essence of all that collapses or crawls is the sound
[Chorus]

I used to think that life was just an accident
G7 Dm C
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
Eb Gmaj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
