Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B E)

♫ Intro:

E5
E5 Emaj7   E5 Emaj7    x4


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

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

♫ Chorus:
A     Am        C      G  F   A
 Tasting the failure on my lips
         Am      C    G  F  A
That I've lead in
         Am      C    G  F  A
That I've lead in
         Am      C    G  F
That I've lead in

Breakdown:

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

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

Bridge Breakdown:

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

♫ Outro:
     D          Bb        D         F
This goes far be-yond our loyalties
       D         Bb      D    F
And we feign as a shield
           D        Bb        D          F
That's teeming with guilt and resonance
       D        Bb    D
But we held our heads so high
