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