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