VERSE:
  Am            C
I wish that I could be
G              F
In the cellars of the sea
    Am            C
And disappear in them
G            F
Never to be seen again

Am       C
Live this life
    G            F
Its unrelenting appetite
    Am            C
For feeding off the weak
    G                F
Who never had their time to speak

PRECHORUS:
    Am             Fmaj7
The sky will be my shroud
  Dm         F   G
A monumental cloud

CHORUS: (play intro riff)
            C                          C/B
If we could turn back, you can't paper over the crack
             Dsus2                                   G
But it will return now, and your heart will burn black

VERSE:
Am       C
Give me your hand
G             F
Cut the skin, let me in
    Am           C
The molecules of us
 G            F
Bleeding into one again

PRECHORUS:
    Am             Fmaj7
The sky will be my shroud
  Dm            F    G
The cenotaph of cloud


CHORUS: (play intro riff)
            C                          C/B
If we could turn back, you can't paper over the crack
             Dsus2                          Dm        G
But it will return now, and your heart will burn black
             C                          C/B
Forgotten my way home, forgotten everything that I know
             Dm                          D6
Every day a false start, and it burns my heart

BRIDGE 1:
  C
I know
G                                    Fmaj7
Everything you said was right, and I suppose
 Am                                 C
Everything is here forever, till it goes
     G                                 Fmaj7
You gave it all away, kept nothing for yourself
Just a picture on the shelf

FRENCH:
Am - Fmaj7 - Dsus2 - F - G

Je souhaiterais merger
Dans les profondeurs des mers
Y disparatre
Pour ne plus jamais tre vu

BRIDGE 2:
        C
Burning up now
        G                           Dm
And I'm racing down a road I don't recognise
I realise I've

CHORUS(play intro riff):
              C                       C/B
Forgotten my way home, forgotten everything that I know
            Dm                           D6   G
Every day a false start, and it burns my heart
C - C/B - Dm - G
