Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Verse 1:
Am                              E
Here in this darkness that I lay
                           Em
Depression heavy in its way
                            F6
And how my body aches to leave
             E            Am
And sing its final eulogy
                            E
My sons I love you evermore
                                     Em
And though the road beckons once more
                               F6
I see the damage that I've done
               E
And search for redemption
     Am
But I am just a broken man
      E
Whose soul cries out to understand
Em
How the madness shatters me
 F6               E
Upon the stage on bended knee
       Am
I scream aloud at skies above
     E
That answer mute, bereft in love
  Em
I struggle not to fall from grace
  F6                E              F
I sing the hymns of my disgrace

Chorus:
             Asus4             Am
We build cathedrals to our pain
             C            F
Establish monuments to attain
              Asus4                     E
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
                                   Am
Lest we drown in the darkness within


Verse 2:
Am                        E
Mystery's forgotten chords
                                  Em
I strum in vain to please the lord
                            F6
But he has never answered me
                 E           Am
And faith has waned eternally
                           E
In empty men who pass along
                                Em
The woes of all religions wrong
                                  F6
And now the shadowed veil it falls
             E
Heed the clarion call
       Am
So pray to music build a shrine
E
Worship in these desperate times
Em
Fill your heart with every note
F6              E
Cherish it and cast afloat
           Am
Because God is in these clef and tone
E
Salvation is found alone
Em
Haunted by its melody
F6              E                                    F
Music, it will set you free (let it set you free)


Chorus:
             Asus4             Am
We build cathedrals to our pain
             C            F
Establish monuments to attain
              Asus4                     E
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
                                   Am
Lest we drown in the darkness within

Establish monuments to attain
              Asus4                     E
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
                                   F
Lest we drown in the darkness within

             Asus4             Am
We build cathedrals to our pain (WOAH...!!!)
             C             F
Establish monuments to attain (WOAH...!!!)
              Asus4                     E
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins (WOAH...!!!)
                                  Am
Lest we drown in the darkness within (WOAH...!!!)
