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