[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
Well, I've been waking up
Bbmaj7
Under blades, blue blossom days
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
If only Damocles would hit me back
Am Bbmaj7
No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
Would prevent my head from fading to black
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
And it feels like falling into the sea
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
From outer space in seconds to me
Am Bbmaj7
And I play discordant days on repeat
C Bbmaj7
Until they look like harmony
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
C
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Dm
Come up for air and choke on it all
Dm11 F
No one else knows that I've got a problem
Bbmaj7
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
Fmaj7
What if the diamond days are all gone
C
And who will I be when thе empire falls?
C
Wake up alonе and I'll be forgotten
[Interlude]
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
Hey
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
Well, I know I should be touring
Bbmaj7
I know these chords are boring
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
But I can't always be killing the game
Am Bbmaj7
No golden grand pianos or voices from the shadows
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
Will do anythin' but feel the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
And it feels like falling into the deep
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
From somewhere way up over the peaks
Am Bbmaj7
And I play discordant days on repeat
Am F
Until the tape runs out on me
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
C
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Dm
Come up for air and choke on it all
Dm11 F
No one else knows that I've got a problem
Bbmaj7
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
Fmaj7
What if the diamond days are all gone?
C
And who will I be when the empire falls?
C
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
[Bridge]
Bb Dm F C
And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
Bb C G
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
Bb Dm F C
Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
Bb C G
When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
C
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Dm
Come up for air and choke on it all
Dm11 F
No one else knows that I've got a problem
Bbmaj7
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
Fmaj7
What if the diamond days are all gone?
C
And who will I be when the empire falls?
C
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
[Outro]
