Bridge
   A minorAm        C majorC
And lover, it was so windy
   G+G               A minorAm
The night was filled with furious trees
                    C majorC
The streets were strewn with broken branches
   G+G              A minorAm
Oh, save me from this conspiring breeze

       A minorAm
This is the sound
       C majorC
This is the sound
       G+G
This is the sound
       A minorAm
This is the sound
       A minorAm
This is the sound
       C majorC
This is the sound
    G+G          A minorAm
Of the sky foaming at the mouth

A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm (x2)

verse 3
       A minorAm
This is the sound that I choose to make, now
       C majorC
This is the sound that I choose to make
G+G
Surrounded with tools and
       A minorAm
No longer suitable for carving faces
     A minorAm
Swinging down, through the air
     C majorC
Like a branch, through the air
      G+G
Until my basic human bones
       A minorAm
Are like a hammer, like a hammer on a semi-precious stone

       A minorAm
This is the sound
       C majorC
This is the sound
       G+G
This is the sound
       A minorAm
This is the sound
       A minorAm
This is the sound
       C majorC
This is the sound
    G+G          A minorAm
Of the sky foaming at the mouth

A minorAm C majorC G+G A minorAm x2

FF E MajorE x3


Outro
  C majorC          A minorAm
So hey, you can keep Cassandra
FF         G+G
And you can keep your kiss
C majorC           A minorAm
You should save your energy
     FF     G+G
For the new apocalypse
   A minorAm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!
