Verse 1:
       Em                         G
At the center of our galaxy there is a black hole
     D                  C
Some call Sagittarius a star
Em                   G
But I know that it’s name is abaddon
  D                        C
I heard when I listened so hard
Em                  G
And I have lived so long
                       D                           C
I’ve seen the earth go around the sun twenty or so times
                   Em
Twenty more for my mother
                    G
Twenty more for her mother
                    D
Twenty times twenty times
      C
Oh abaddon

Verse 2:
Em                   G
My whole species has lived so long
              D                           C
It’s seen the earth go around the sun two hundred  thousand times
Em                               G                        D      C
And in all that time the sun has not seen all sides of abaddon

Chorus:
     Em
It’s faceless
G
They named it
D                 C
So strong that no wave can escape it
Em        G                  D     C
Space and time trade names inside
       Em
Of Abaddon

Verse 3:
     Em                      G
Some people say you’re not a great as you are
    D                             C
And other still say you’re just a corpse of a star
    Em                        G
The heathens believe in right handed neutrinos
    D         C
Abaddon oh abaddon
Em                        G
But I have learned not to believe in much
    D                    C
I’m quick to caution and slow to trust
     Em                            G
Like lessons learned they’re often hard but they’re true
         D                              C
Like how someone that you care about so much
N.C.
Might better off without you

Chorus:
     Em
It’s faceless
G
They named it
D                 C
So strong that no wave can escape it
Em        G                  D     C
Space and time trade names inside
N.C.
