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