Aperture chords by Sleeping At Last

Intro:
G G C G D G

Verse 1:
G           C
Happiness is somewhere I have been before-
G          C
A blurry photograph that I have since ignored
G
I'll carefully adjust the aperture once more
G        D   G
Until I set the record straight
G             C
I'll brush aside the dim, make room for the bright
G            C
I'll be an editor, no, a curator of light
G

I'll let my better angels always set me right
G      D    G
Until I even out the score
G      D    G
Until I even out the score

Chorus:
C      Em
God, it has been quite a year-
G            D
I've lived a little bit and I've died a little more
C        Em
I know that I've asked it before
G            D       G
But please let the scale tip here in my favor

Verse 2:
G             C
What was once the sweetest melody I've heard
G        C
Is now a memory reduced to little words
G
I'll tune the orchestra and play the overture
G        D   G
Until I pinpoint every note
G
Give me the heart of an archeologist
            C
That I may dig until I prove that I exist
G       C
A subterranean cathedral in my midst
G      D    G
Where echos come to rest
G      D    G
Where echos come to rest
G          D    G
Is this where echos come to rest?

Chorus:
C      Em
God, it has been quite a year-
G          D
I've lived a little bit and I've died a little more
C        Em
I know that I've asked it before
G            D       G
But please let the scale tip here in my favor

Outro:

Until I set the record straight
