E5 EMaj7Emaj7  E5E5 EMaj7Emaj7  x4


♫ Verse 1:
A augmentedA        C majorC    G+G
Under an eclipse of ever-rising feeling
A augmentedA           C majorC
Moving faster through my veins
  G+G         A augmentedA
And bleeding out the sun
        C majorC     G+G
That's beating down our necks
A augmentedA         C majorC  G+G FF
And burning my eyes

Pre ♫ Chorus:
A augmentedA      C majorC          G+G
If this is a crutch for the weak
       FF     E MajorE
Then I am the least of these
A augmentedA       C majorC           G+G
So cut off my arms and break my legs
     FF     E MajorE
So I don't feel this anymore
A augmentedA   C majorC        G+G   FF  E MajorE
Choking on all of the feeling
A augmentedA     C majorC      G+G   FF  E MajorE
 That I'm swallowing in

♫ Chorus:
A augmentedA   A minorAm    C majorC   G+G FF  A augmentedA
 Tasting the failure on my lips
     A minorAm   C majorC  G+G FF A augmentedA
That I've lead in
     A minorAm   C majorC  G+G FF A augmentedA
That I've lead in
     A minorAm   C majorC  G+G FF
That I've lead in

Breakdown:

E MajorE x4
  E MajorE
And this is my last chance for survival
 E MajorE
A augmentedA last ditch effort to cure my ache

♫ Verse 2:
A augmentedA     A minorAm       C majorC
 We're so vain aren't we?
     G+G    FF   A augmentedA
We're so proud and empty
      A minorAm       C majorC    G+G  FF  A augmentedA
We're left leaning on our only intrigue
  A minorAm         C majorC      G+G   FF   A augmentedA
The lies that I've told they won't bury us whole
      A minorAm    C majorC  G+G FF
They won't find us in time

Bridge Breakdown:

This is the end of the story that I can't forget

This goes far be-yond our loyalties
    D MajorD     Bb majorBb   D MajorD  FF
And we feign as a shield

But we held our heads so high
