          D
Like a city overthrown
               F#m
We're turning buildings into stone

We leave the bodies to the crows

On a funeral of fire

Now we're choking on the fumes
               F#m
Spread the lie and kill the truth

They're in the ashes of the proof

We watch the flames rise higher

We made our bed and rolled the dice
            E
Well every gamble has a price
              Bm
We watched the cracks grow wider

               D
Waves are climbing past your knees
              F#m
It's just the coming of the seas

It's getting harder now to breathe

We watched the tides rise higher
