Verse 1:

A augmentedA            Bm/ABm/A
 When you hide away the daylight
  A augmentedA         Bm/ABm/A
The thief, he comes to rob you
A augmentedA           Bm/ABm/A
 With arms stretched out like a cousin
  A augmentedA         Bm/ABm/A
You swore you’ve only seen once
A augmentedA         Bm/ABm/A
 Approaching with caution
  A augmentedA          Bm/ABm/A
So quick, he gets your name wrong
A augmentedA        Bm/ABm/A
 Your singing betrays you
A augmentedA            Bm/ABm/A
 And still you want to go on

Verse 2:

A augmentedA            Bm/ABm/A
 But you’re no fool, Maria
A augmentedA               Bm/ABm/A
 With your half-moon crescent eyelids
A augmentedA         Bm/ABm/A
 Dipping like a curtain
A augmentedA             Bm/ABm/A
 That lets you know it’s over

Verse 3:

A augmentedA             Bm/ABm/A
 We are fiction as it’s written
A augmentedA           Bm/ABm/A
 The bleeding ink on paper
A augmentedA       Bm/ABm/A
 Quiet as an aeroplane
 A augmentedA        Bm/ABm/A
Before it hits the mountain

Chorus:

A augmentedA    Bm/ABm/A
 We are song
A augmentedA    Bm/ABm/A
 We are gone

Verse 4:

A augmentedA           Bm/ABm/A
 If I said that I had chose this
A augmentedA          Bm/ABm/A
 I then would be a liar
A augmentedA         Bm/ABm/A
 I am only living sentences
     A augmentedA       Bm/ABm/A
That were long before I got here

Verse 5:

A augmentedA           Bm/ABm/A
 And you are proof in flesh
   A augmentedA        Bm/ABm/A
That God Himself is behind this
A augmentedA             Bm/ABm/A
 You don’t need to understand
A augmentedA          Bm/ABm/A
 But truly you must live it

Verse 6:

A augmentedA           Bm/ABm/A
 And I want you to be free
A augmentedA           Bm/ABm/A
 And I want to be at ease
A augmentedA       Bm/ABm/A
 Naked as in Eden
 A augmentedA          Bm/ABm/A
Before there was the thief

Verse 7:

A augmentedA           Bm/ABm/A
 It’s true that I had visions
A augmentedA            Bm/ABm/A
 It’s true that I heard voices
A augmentedA           Bm/ABm/A
 My mind was a tired earthquake
A augmentedA                Bm/ABm/A
 When my thoughts were breaking dishes
A augmentedA       Bm/ABm/A
 Falling into pieces
A augmentedA             Bm/ABm/A
 And running towards the exit
A augmentedA        Bm/ABm/A
 Keeping my composure
   A augmentedA         Bm/ABm/A
As I saw the landscape split
  A augmentedA
In two
