Interludes between verses are in A
Solo phrase is the chords for a verse then chorus.
A Bm D
The stars are fading, ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
A Bm D
The bread we have broken, the wine we drank from tarnished cups,
G D A
And I stopped believing in miracles a long, long time ago,
G D A
I lost my faith and I sacrificed my soul,
Bm D A
I worshiped fallen idols, chased false prophets to an end,
Bm D A
To where I just can't see the beautiful anymore
A Bm D
The ice retreating, mountains exposed in the sun,
A Bm D
The earth is baking, raindrops precede the floods
G D A
And hurricanes with children's names write our history
G D A
Signatures tracked by satellites on high,
Bm D A
We should have talked about the weather a bit more seriously,
Bm D
More than stocks and shares and corporate wares,
G-D G-D A
We were blinded by the skeptics and their greed
Bm D A
I just can't see the beautiful anymore;
Bm D A
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
Bm D A
I howled and I cried when the melody died, the song was finally over,
Bm D A
There was nothing to say, words stole away, their meaning lost in the ether,
G D A
What there was left stopped making sense, a broken up alphabet, language dispersed
Bm D A
I just can't hear the beautiful anymore
[Solo/Instrumental]
A Bm D
The oceans are rising, islands in time disappear,
A Bm D
The canyons burning, forests consumed by the flames,
G D A
Wildfires rage across the plains to be starved by barren soil,
G D A
Deserted farms where seeds refuse to grow,
Bm D A
I close my eyes to cloudless skies I dream of what we had before,
Bm D A
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
Bm D A
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
