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