Hey there, This is my favourite song on Broken and I worked it out a while ago but never posted it
, hope it is of some use to others. Sadly I cant figure out how to post this so the chords sit in the appropriate spot above the lyrics but hopefully you can easily pick that up.
Sounds alright to me but invite any input/discussion/praise or abuse.... enjoy!
shadows fall
Intro
Bm
Bm A C F#major
Verse
Bm A
i see circles of gold in spite of my eyes
C
when darkness falls from above
F# major
stay under me my love
Bm A
i see circles of gold fading to black
C
until the heavens have died
F# major
you'll be the thorn in my side
Chorus
Em Dsus2
come so coldly awake
Em Dsus2
where the light wouldn't go
Em Dsus2 F# major
come only to drift downward slow
Chorus
Bm A
in the dying light is a dream beyond time
C
one as impossible
F# major
as it is beautiful
Bm A
now the ghost in the mirror twists this way and that
C
setting the thread to fray
F# major
in such a solitary way
Bm A
and the archangel sighs, feeding his blues
C
still i am loathe to gather
F# major
all of these bones together
Chorus
Em Dsus2
come so coldly awake
Em Dsus2
where the light wouldn't go
Em Dsus2 F# major
come only to drift downward slow
Em Dsus2
on the way to the gate
Em Dsus2
walk a merciful mile
Em Dsus2 F# major
while lying in wait a serpent coils
Bb major F# major
here's where the bent and the wretched were born
Bb major F# major
here's where the path was erased in the storm
Repeat several times, then...
repeat chorus, then...
while playing F#maj from the end of the chorus, the music builds and leads into instumental..
G D A
Ending
Bm A
i see circles of gold burned off the sun
C
when shadows fall from above
F# major
stay close to me my love
