Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
Dm C Dm Bb Dm F Bb

Verse 1:
Dm               C
They were taking small pains
       F           Bb
To not make him realize
Dm                 F
Made him feel he's different
Bb
Through and through
  Dm             C
A monster in his own way
       F            Bb
Communicative quarantine
Dm               C               Bb
Unleashed on the world without a clue

Pre-Chorus:
Eb                Gm               Dm
Surrounded by the ghosts of paling pictures
     Eb   Dm        C    F
They come and slip away
Db
Vivid memories roll and spin
Eb
If only they would suck me in

Chorus:
F
We're going up like fire in
         C                 F
Just the blink between the dream
                         Bb
And the memories and the embers
             Dm                 C
Of what we'd hoped it all would be
          F
Breathing odour of lavender
             C                 Dm
And it's all coming back to me
       F                  Bb
Wish I didn't fail to say those
      Dm                   C
Words before you'd have to leave
Bb
A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves

Verse 2:
Dm               C
Here I stand and survey
         F             Bb
What the Father's cast my way
Dm               C             Bb
A wind got up to bode times of change
  Dm             C
I close the door behind me
         F                Bb
Know the day break is too far
Dm           C             Bb
Me and who I was, alone, estranged

Pre-Chorus:
Eb                Gm             Dm
Surrounded by the scent invoking pictures
Eb       Dm     C    F
Gone and yet so clear
Db
Vivid memories roll and spin
Eb
If only they would suck me in

Chorus:
F
We're going up like fire in
         C                 F
Just the blink between the dream
                         Bb
And the memories and the embers
             Dm                 C
Of what we'd hoped it all would be
          F
Breathing odour of lavender
             C                 Dm
And it's all coming back to me
       F                  Bb
Wish I didn't have to see now
          Dm            C
What back then I didn't see
Bb
A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves

Bridge:
    C     Dm         Bb        Dm           C             Bb
The crazy part ain't dreaming, wishing on a falling star
C        Dm                Bb        C        F
It's the world that's in between the cope and you
  C        Dm             Bb             C
I close my eyes and see a magic world in sepia
     C       Dm         Bb   C         F
That cast me out onto a road without a clue

N.C.
We're going up like fire in
N.C.
Just the blink between the dream
N.C.
And the memories and the embers
N.C.
Of what we'd hoped it all would be

Outro:
F
We're going up like fire in
         C                 F
Just the blink between the dream
                         Bb
And the memories and the embers
             Dm                 C
Of what we'd hoped it all would be
          F
Breathing odour of lavender
             C                 Dm
And it's all coming back to me
       F                  Bb
Wish I didn't fail to say those
      Dm                   C
Words before you'd have to leave
Bb
A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves
Bb
A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves, oh
Bb
A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves
