                      BmWe (x24432@1)need an amethyst bridge
                        EmWe (022000@1)need a high hanging cliff
Jump, fall and lift
        CWe (x32010@1)can make it

But we need a myth
We need a path through the mist
Like in our beds, we were just kids
Like what was said by our parents

AbmA (133111@4)myth
                            C#'Cause (x43121@1)what we're after is just this
A myth
'Cause what we're after is just this

AWe (x02220@1)need a myth
                         C#mI (x13321@4)feel my heart's like a fist
                                  F#mWords (244222@1)spilling out of the blessed lips
                    DOf (xx0232@1)any prophet or goddess

I need a myth
Brought back to life by a kiss
Scrape away grey cement
Show me the world as it was again

As it was in a myth
A red ribbon to reconnect
The lady's head to her neck
And to forget that her throat was ever slit
                            Bb'Cause (x1333x@1)what we're after is just this
        EbIt's (x43121@3)a myth

To steal some old reflections for their light
But desperate measures point to desperate times
           F#And (244322@1)that's why
We need a myth

                             AbmThe (133111@4)world is trembling and weeping
                        EJust (022100@1)at the point of believing

In a myth
The sun that shines on my head
The moon that lights me to bed
Were two identical twins

Inside of a myth
I heard the voice of a friend
On Lethe's banks, wading in
And he said, "Before I forget..."

C#We (x43121@1)need a myth
                 FmAs (133111@1)we lean in to kiss
                             BbmTo (x13321@1)get two nails through the wrist
                   F#To (244322@1)get covered in blood
And to get covered in spit

C#And (x43121@1)to forgive
And if all we're taught is a trick
Why would this feeling persist?
And with the truth closing in
I must insist
We need a myth

As the song progresses, they use barre chords further up the neck; for example, even 
though the last set of chords has an F-minor in it, you'll want to do it at the 7th fret 
instead of the 1st if you want to be as accurate as possible.
