• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: C#m

Intro:

C#m                            A
Birds of prey spiral around my head
     C#m                B           C#              E
They hiss songs of your birth, they caw visions of death
      C#m
I’ve watched it happen again and again, haunted by
  C#m           B                C#                E
A thousand kind beginnings and a thousand bloodied ends
            C#m       Am A
I shouldn’t play with fate
            C#m           B        Am   B
But what if once, I could make you safe?

Chorus:
             C#m                              B/A
So while you think you’re alone, you cast two shadows down the road
               C#m                         B
Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones
            C#m                       B/A
The two red suns in the sky blink, my pity-filled eyes
           C#m              B
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
         C#m                   B
If you’d just look up, I could be your guide
            C#m                              B
Why can’t I catch your eye how you’ve caught tеns of mine
           C#m
Eye in the sun
             B
You’rе all I see
                      C#m
Why don’t you look at me?

Pre-Chorus:
         C#m
(I’m the embers bright)
          G#m
(Flitting lightning flies)
           C#m
(Blinks my eye in the sun)
        G#m
(In the hints of split sky)
         C#m
(I’m the dying fire)
        G#m
(In the birthing light)
          C#m
(And I’ll break every bind)
          G#m
(That I’m blighted by)
       C#m          B          C#m    G#m
You’re blind to all my warning cries
                C#m          B             C#m           B
When I speak in dust devils, crop circles, flocks of mayflies
C#m        B             C#m      G#m
So I’ve no choice but to come down
N.C.                                C# A
Pardon my steps shaking the ground (HA!)

Chorus:
             C#m                              B/A
So while you think you’re alone, you cast two shadows down the road
               C#m                         B
Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones
            C#m                       B/A
The two red suns in the sky blink, my pity-filled eyes
           C#m              B
Hoping the heartlines will change this time
        C#m                   B/A
But the birds on my shoulders prepare for a feast
        C#m                              B
You can taste it in the air, the soon-to-be dead meat
           C#m
Eye in the sun
             B
You’re all I see
                      C#m
Why don’t you look at me?

Bridge:
   C#m                     F#m                  C#m              Bm
My breath heaves down your nape, wrestlin’ you ‘way, but I’m too late
       C#m              F#m
A body rests, dagger in chest
    C#m                 F#m                C#m                    Bm
The heart in your hands drips, as its soul crawls from splintered ribs
              F#m          C#m
To eclipse my head and beg again
F#m        N.C.
For revenge
            C#m*
Oh, you may think you’re alone if you hide from the shadows
        C#m*
You can bury bones but not the souls
            C#m*
And two red suns in the sky will be the light to build your pyre
           C#m*
They’re my blank and pitiless eyes
       C#m*                        B*
Every death birthes a bird to this wretched flock
        C#m*                                B*
Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch
        C#m
Catastrophe
          B
Repeat until
    N.C.
You look at me

Outro:
              C#m                              B/A
(So while you think you’re alone, you cast two shadows down the road)
                C#m                         B
(Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones)
B       C#m
Look at me
         C#m                  B
(See my two sun eyes, feel my slow moving thighs)
          C#m               B
(Tumbling dust in a dimming tide)
C#m          B          C#m
One day I’ll come reckoning
          C#m                        B/A
(Hear the squabble angry caws of our wretched flock)
         C#m                                 B
(Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch)
C#m         B           C#m          F#
Wearing the feathers of our souls as wings
         C#m
(I’m the embers bright)
          B
(Flitting lightning flies)
           C#m
(Blinks my eye in the sun)
        B
(In the hints of split sky)
         C#m
(I’m the dying fire)
        B
(In the birthing light)
          C#m
(And I’ll break every bind)
          B
(That I’m blighted by)
        E
(Embers bright)
          F#m
(Flitting lightning flies)
           B
(Blinks my eye in the sun)
        C#m
(In the hints of split sky)
         E
(I’m the dying fire)
        C#m
(In the birthing light)
             N.C.
(And I’ll )
