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