Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

• Capo on 1st
• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: C minorCm

Verse 1:
 BB
I used to see the future and now I see nothin'
   BB
They cut out my eyes and sent me home packin'
E MajorE                 E minorEm
 To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration


 BB
Cryin' like Cassandra
I
F#F#
Used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue
   E MajorE             E minorEm
And left me doin' laundry to thinkin' what I've done
      BB  C# minorC#m  G# minorG#m
It wasn't me
  F#F#   E MajorE
It was the song

Verse 2:
      B5B5
I used to move into the future, bring it all back
     B5B5
Let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
    B5B5
Now I creep out when there's no one about
         B5B5
'Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
   B minorBm          A augmentedA
With gardеns of the grove
                 E/G#  G+G
And I run in the middlе of the road    (Ooh)


Chorus:
F#7F#7         B minorBm
 Well, can you see me?
       D MajorD
I cannot see you
        G+G
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
     D MajorD        F#7F#7
In this blindness I'm condemned to
          B minorBm
Well, can you hear me?
        D MajorD
I cannot hear you
        G+G
Every song I thought I knew
I've been deafened to
       D MajorD       F#7F#7   B minorBm
And there's no one left to sing to

Verse 3:
     B minorBm
All the gods have been domesticated
   B minorBm
And Heaven is now overrated
       B minorBm
And the churches, they all closed their doors
        B minorBm
Well, you can take your complaints straight to the Lord
                B minorBm
I try to still look where they wander on the work
          A augmentedA
As the roses bloom
              E/G#       G+G
And the riot plants, they're plainly in view


Chorus:
F#7F#7         B minorBm
 Well, can you see me?
       D MajorD
I cannot see you
        G+G
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
     D MajorD        F#7F#7
In this blindness I'm condemned to
          B minorBm
Well, can you hear me?
        D MajorD
I cannot hear you
        G+G
Every song I thought I knew
I've been deafened to
       D MajorD       F#7F#7
And there's no one left to sing to

Bridge:
B minorBm
Ooh
A augmentedA
Ooh
E/G#  G+G   F#7F#7
Ooh
oh
B minorBm
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Take me back)
A augmentedA
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, the drunken gods oversweeten)
E/G#      G+G
Ooh, ooh, ooh  (I must be their favourite daughter)


Chorus:
F#7F#7         B minorBm
 Well, can you see me?
       D MajorD
I cannot see you
        G+G
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
       B minorBm
And if I run fast enough
     D MajorD
Could I break apart
      G+G                  D MajorD   F#7F#7
As empires tumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
