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