C#5II(palm mute)
         I liked the way my hand looked on your head

       F#5                 F#5         F#5     F#5
In the presence of my knuckles 

        C#5II
But the beauty of this vision alone, just like yesterday's sunset

           F#5                       F#5               F#5    F#5
Has been perverted by the sentimental and mistaken for love

Chorus 1:
(Note: Listen to the recording for strumming patterns
       Also, the following fill can be played after
       strumming each F#. Alternatively, you can just
       strum the hell out of the chord. This is
       the same for all choruses):

   *E5                              F#
The felix of your truth will always break it

       *E5                       F#
and the iris of your eye, always shake it

       *E5                           F#
And the armies, the armies I have created

            A5              B5   
Will always hate it, always bait you on... Ohh...

C#5II

In the presence of my struggle

        C#5II
But the beauty of this vision alone, I can't shake from my tree just yet

           F#5                     F#5
It keeps invading all my private moments
