Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

L: Verse 1:

BB      EbmEbm       C#C#
I'm sitting down and pouring tea
    BbmBbm     BB
As if I do it every day
        EbmEbm
Go through the motions
     C#C#      BbmBbm
Like the hands upon a clock


BB        EbmEbm       C#C#
Though it feels right, a part of me
        BbmBbm
Knows that it's wrong
  BB      B6B6    C#sus2C#sus2
As if another's will had moved me

BB       EbmEbm      C#C#
It's like I'm hitting all my marks
     BbmBbm     BB
As if I'm acting in a play
     EbmEbm      C#C#      BbmBbm
So out of character, yet somehow not a shock


BB     EbmEbm
I'm like a software program
C#C#        BbmBbm
Caught inside an endless loop
EbmEbm   BB     B6B6  C#sus2C#sus2
Just bad code that keeps repeating


L: Chorus:

EbmEbm EbM7Ebm7  BB
Is this the way it ends now?
G# minorG#m       C#sus4C#sus4  C#C#
How could I not see this coming?
EbmEbm EbM7Ebm7  BB
My camera's cloudy lens now
G# minorG#m        C#sus4C#sus4     C#C#
Takes much darker pictures than before


Light: Verse 2:

BB     EbmEbm     C#C#         BbmBbm     BB
I know by now you understand you're but a pawn upon a board
       EbmEbm      C#C#       BbmBbm
I've won the game but never gave up half my years
BB      EbmEbm      C#C#       BbmBbm
Life will continue just the way I've always planned
    BB         B6B6    C#sus2C#sus2
Let the cold, hard justice crash the system

BB      EbmEbm      C#C#
I've always stayed a step ahead
       BbmBbm        BB
But you were with me the whole way
    EbmEbm      C#C#     BbmBbm
Until I played upon a Shinigami's fears
BB     EbmEbm         C#C#       BbmBbm
For Misa's love, she wrote your name then left upon a breeze
EbmEbm   BB    B6B6    C#sus2C#sus2
Into the sands of dust and darkness


Light: Chorus:

EbmEbm EbM7Ebm7  BB
This is the way it ends now!

L:
G# minorG#m       C#sus4C#sus4 C#C#
See it flicker, hear it humming

Light:
EbmEbm EbM7Ebm7 BB
My power just extends now!
G# minorG#m       C#sus4C#sus4  C#C#    Bsus2Bsus2
Rem has written, you will write no more!


L: Bridge:

         Bsus2Bsus2       BB
I've seen through you right from the start!

Light:
      BB         A augmentedA
I've simply let you play your part!

L:
       A augmentedA
You'll never ever get away!

Light:
BB         B6B6    C#sus2C#sus2 EbmEbm
Don't you see that you will die today?


L: Chorus:

EbmEbm EbM7Ebm7  BB
Is this the way it ends now?
G# minorG#m       C#sus4C#sus4  C#C#
How could I not see this coming?
EbmEbm EbM7Ebm7  BB
The message that it sends now
G# minorG#m      C#sus4C#sus4 C#C#   EbmEbm
Sounds exactly like a closing door


Light:

   EbM7Ebm7  BB
This is the way it ends now!
G# minorG#m       C#sus4C#sus4 C#C#
See it blazing, hear it drumming
EbmEbm EbM7Ebm7  BB
Feel how a minute spends now
G# minorG#m        Csus4Csus4 C#C#   BB EbmEbm
When you wish you had a minute more


L: Outro:

C#C#   BbmBbm   BB EbmEbm C#C#
Like a closing door

Light:

 BbmBbm  BB EbmEbm C#C# BbmBbm BB
A augmentedA minute more
