🎸 Verse 1:
A minorAm   FF
See the man
  G+G        E minorEm
Who stands upon the hill
FF      DmDm          Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
He dreams of all the battles won
  A minorAm    FF    G+G       E minorEm
But fate had left its scars upon his face


FF       DmDm        Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
With all the damage they had done
    FF     G+G
And so time, with age
  E MajorE    A minorAm
He turns the page
G+G     FF
Let the flesh
         E MajorE
Submit itself to gravity

🎸 Chorus:
    FF
Let our bodies lay
     G+G
While our hearts we'll save
    E MajorE
Let our blood invade
   A minorAm     G+G
If I die in vain
  FF              G+G
Now, if your convictions were a passing faith
     E MajorE              A minorAm      G+G
May your ashes feed the river in the morning rays
FF
And as the vermin crawls
  DmDm       E*        A minorAm
We lay in the foundations of decay


🎸 Verse 2:
A minorAm      FF  G+G       E minorEm
He was there, the day the towers fell
FF     DmDm        Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
And so he wandered down the road
  A minorAm    FF     G+G       E minorEm
And we would all build towers of our own
FF    DmDm         Esus4Esus4 E MajorE
Only to watch the rooms corrode
     FF     G+G
But it's much too late
    E MajorE   A minorAm
You're in the race
G+G    FF
So we'll press
             E MajorE
And press 'til you can't take it anymore

🎸 Chorus:
    FF
Let our bodies lay
     G+G
While our hearts we'll save
    E MajorE
Let our blood invade
   A minorAm     G+G
If I die in vain
FF              G+G
And if, by his own hand, his spirit flies
     E MajorE
Take his body as a relic
   A minorAm    G+G
To be canonized, now
FF            E MajorE
And so he gets to die a saint
              A minorAm
But she will always be the whore


🎸 Bridge: (2 strums on each chord)
A minorAm A minorAm A minorAm
(Let's flip out!)
A minorAm A minorAm  A minorAm C majorC
A minorAm A minorAm  A minorAm C majorC

A minorAm A minorAm   A minorAm   E minorEm
A---gainst faith (Antihero)
A minorAm A minorAm   A minorAm    E minorEm
A---gainst all life (As if it must be pure)
A minorAm A minorAm   A minorAm   E minorEm
A---gainst change (Wander through the ruins)
A minorAm Am A minorAm    A minorAm      FF   G+G
We are free (The guiltiness is yours)

🎸 Verse 3:
     E minorEm     A minorAm  G+G
You must  fix your heart
FF     G+G       E minorEm       A minorAm   G+G
 And you must build an altar where it rests
     FF          G+G
When the storm decays and the sky it rains
    E minorEm
Let it flood

Let it flood
    A minorAm    G+G
Let it wash away
FF               G+G
And as we stumble through your last crusade
     E minorEm               A minorAm   G+G
When you welcome your extinction in the morning rays
FF              E MajorE
And as the swarming calls we lay in the foundations


🎸 Outro:
    A minorAm        DmDm  A minorAm
Yes, it comforts me much more
E MajorE     A minorAm        DmDm
 Yes, it comforts me much more
  A minorAm       E MajorE
To lay in the foundations of decay
Bb majorBb A augmentedA   Bb majorBb A augmentedA   Bb majorBb A augmentedA
   Get   up
coward!
