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