Intro
Am Em (4x)
[Verse]
Am Em
6:45
Am Em Am Em Am Em
And the sun has cut the sky and the clouds are still bleeding
Em Am
As meanwhile I
AmEm Am Em F
I drink alone outside the bar at the end of the world
FAm Em
So this is how it feels
Am Em
10:25
Am Em Am Em Am Em
And there's a girl with cold eyes but her stockings are running
Em Am
And anyway
Am Em Am Em F
She's just the end of a melody that sings to me of you
FC
So this is how it feels
[Chorus]
C Gm
To stagger from the undergrowth
Gm F
And rediscover emptiness
F
Dancing on the beach
[Verse]
Am Em
About 2:05
Am Em Am Em Am Em
The band's on fire, it's a pyre and the bodies are burning
Em Am
I'm still alive
Am Em Am Em F
But as the papers have assured me, I won't be for long
FC
So this is how it feels
[Chorus]
C Gm
So this is how it feels
GmF
To walk upon the waves alone
FC
With nothing to conceal
C Gm
So this is how it feels
Gm F
To crawl out from the accident
F
And die beneath your wheels
[Verse]
Am Em
Nearly 4 am
Am Em Am Em Am Em
I'm just a ripple in the tide and the tide is receding
Em Am
I really can't pretend
AmEm Am Em F
That the end feels like anything more than a joke
FC
So this is how it feels
[Chorus]
C Gm
So this is how it feels
Gm F
To throw your past onto the floor
F C
And smash it beneath your heels
C Gm
So this is how it feels
Gm F
To catch your face in a broken glass
F
And know that that's what's real
[Outro]
Am Em
6:45
Am Em Am Em Am Em
And the sun has cut the sky and the clouds are still bleeding
