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