Guitar chords with lyrics
- Capo on 4th
- Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Key: C#m Intro: Am F C G Am F C Em Verse 1: Am F There’s a veil between the shadows and the light, C G But I don’t remember pulling it down. Am F You left the kettle on. It whistled low C Em Like someone breathing through the ground. Am F The name was written once in chalk, C G Then wiped clean across the stone. Am F I said it wrong. I said it soft. C Em but still it came out alone. Am A-lone
Am F I lit the match with a stranger’s book. C G The pages curled before they caught. Am F I closed it tight and marked in ash C Em But still pretended I forgot. Am F The rain came down in folded sheets. C G It knew the path, but not the way. Am F The garden drowned, the mirror cracked C Em And still I whispered just the same. Chorus: F A name in the smoke, C A shape in the fire- G The more I forget, Am F The more it conspires. C I cover the mirror. G I drink from the flame. F I don’t want to drown again- G Am Just to forget your name. Verse 2: Am F The mask still smells like salt and ash. C G The hallway floods here every night. Am F I try to leave the windows cracked C G But something always seals it tight. Bridge: Am If it burned, it lived F Em If it smoked, it remembered. Am I called, but the silence spoke. F Em G Something moved behind the veil, stirred. Chorus: F A name in the smoke, C A voice in the wire- G I wanted to sleep, Am F But I woke up on fire. C I covered the mirror. G I blurred out the frame. F I don’t want to drown again- G Am Just to forget your name. Outro: Am F C G Am F C Em
