♫ Intro:

    C# minorC#m          BB        E MajorE  A augmentedA
As the water drips from the sky, I start to wonder
    C# minorC#m        BB        E MajorE G# minorG#m A augmentedA
If I'm still alive, then I have to find the answer
    C# minorC#m         BB           E MajorE  A augmentedA
Could it be that it was a dream, and I'm still beside her?
    C# minorC#m         BB         G# minorG#m  A augmentedA
Right before my eyes, a tragic surprise, the water stops

♫ Verse 1:
C# minorC#m           BB          A augmentedA
  Wickedness will rain, and drown us in her

Sorrow (and her thirst)
 C# minorC#m        BB
If I hope to survive, I must think faster
G# minorG#m       A augmentedA
  I'm losing ground
             BB
Should I pull back the veil?


♫ Chorus:
      C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
You had the best of me (now taste the worst)

All that glimmers is not gold
E MajorE             BB
 I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
You had me convinced that together we could fly
E MajorE         BB
 Until I started scratching at the surface
   A augmentedA
(And saw beyond your masquerade)
   BB
Your body is an illness

♫ Verse 2:
C# minorC#m           BB       A augmentedA
  Temples crashing down all around me

Panic (chokes the streets)
   C# minorC#m       BB
The golden city falls
           G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
And with it our lives go up in flames
    A augmentedA         BB
Should I pull back the veil?


♫ Chorus:
      C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
You had the best of me (now taste the worst)

All that glimmers is not gold
E MajorE             BB
 I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
You had me convinced that together we could fly
E MajorE         BB
 Until I started scratching at the surface
   A augmentedA
(And saw beyond your masquerade)
   BB
Your body is an illness


♫ Bridge:
C# minorC#m
All shall be made clear
       BB    E MajorE
{We've been watching you wander}

My blood runs cold
 C# minorC#m     BB    E MajorE  G# minorG#m A augmentedA
{There's no need to run farther}

I fear I know the truth
 C# minorC#m   BB   A augmentedA   E MajorE  F# minorF#m
{Come into our arms, brother}

(I tear back the cowl and stare into my own eyes)
 C# minorC#m   BB   E MajorE
{Now we can be one forever}

Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?

Yeah!
C# minorC#m    G#G#
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
C# minorC#m    G#G#
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

A augmentedA  BB

C# minorC#m    G#G#
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
C# minorC#m    G#G#
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

♫ Chorus:
A augmentedA         BB
I pull back the veil

      C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
You had the best of me (now taste the worst)

All that glimmers is not gold
E MajorE             BB
 I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
You had me convinced that together we could fly
E MajorE         BB
 Until I started scratching at the surface
   A augmentedA
(And saw beyond your masquerade)
   BB
Your body is an illness
     A augmentedA
(And I'm sickened by the thought of you!)
    BB          A augmentedA
I may never be the same again

BB  C# minorC#m

    F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
(I may never be the same again)
