Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
C# minorC#m                                                              D#mb5
Dead stars in jewelry boxes spill as we rush past them, lain to waste
                                                              E MajorE
We can't have everything we want, some things will have to stay
N.C.
There is no beauty in the fire but there is beauty in the
D#mb5
way your eyes locked willingly with death and death turned trembling away
C# minorC#m
Like ice on passing comets we move coldly,
                      D#mb5                                                              F# minorF#m
soundless, through it all but in the wordless space between us there is something like a song
                                                               E MajorE
Each note exists within the silence, our hearts were moving it along
                       D#mb5
You sing the melody so perfect, I can only get it wrong

Chorus:
         C# minorC#m                                          BB
So I beg, just make the silence stop (it's exposed too much)
A augmentedA                                     E MajorE
I think I've had enough (time to let it go)
C# minorC#m                                        BB A augmentedA                                            D#mb5
It's always quiet and that was the sound of us (and it's killing me, I'm close to giving up)


Verse 2:
C# minorC#m                                                          D#mb5
An hourglass is spinning, tumbling right past me through the room
                                        E MajorE
Gravity long since gone, now an airless tomb
                                                  D#mb5
The song that lived between us: here but out of tune
                                                             C# minorC#m
The grains of sand escape the glass, each one paler than the moon
                                                 A augmentedA
Entire planets empty with only dust and rocks to find
                                         F# minorF#m
You escaped from here, leaving this behind
                                                    E MajorE
You found an enemy in sorrow; I made a lover out of mine
                            D#mb5
And now I'm running out of air and Iâm begging


Chorus:
C# minorC#m                                          BB
just make the silence stop (it's exposed too much)
A augmentedA                                     E MajorE
I think I've had enough (time to let it go)
C# minorC#m                                        BB A augmentedA                                           D#mb5
It's always quiet and that was the sound of us (and it's killing me, I'm close to giving up)

Bridge:
C# minorC#m          G#/C
What am I to say?
C# minorC#m                 G#/C
We've been growing apart


Verse 3:
   C# minorC#m                                         D#mb5
My infatuation with you began to slip into the void
                                                         E MajorE
I watched it drift into the cosmos as anguish plagued my mind
                                                  D#mb5
As we began to mirror all the space between the stars, I couldn't take the static
                   C# minorC#m
I needed something more


Bridge 2:
                 A augmentedA      C# minorC#m                BB   A augmentedA                                      E MajorE
It wasnât easy finding something to live for, hearing your voice inside of every sound
C# minorC#m             A augmentedA      C# minorC#m      BB A augmentedA                                         E MajorE
I saw a part of you in everything, took a moment to breathe, then let it run out


Chorus:
C# minorC#m                                          BB
just make the silence stop (it's exposed too much)
A augmentedA                                     E MajorE
I think I've had enough (time to let it go)
C# minorC#m                                        BB A augmentedA                                           D#mb5
