C#5                   C#5
Fear  |  It's all the same
       bb           G#5
Should I evolve  |  To tend to these 
C#5                      C#5
sights  |  Said out loud then said again
           bb                       G#5
If fate's so wrong  |  You'll start to feel lightheaded
   F#5  G#5   bb    C#5    C#5      G#5
By my  ad - mis - sion, nothing grows
       F#5    G#5  bb   C#5      C#5     G#5
Just a lon - ger list of un - sorted laws

   F#5
So why then
         C#5   bb   G#5  ( C#5 )  F#5 
Has all my life made no        sound
           bb   C#5    G#5  ( C#5 )  F#5
And are your eyes Clo - sing even now
   C#5   bb   G#5  ( C#5 )  F#5 
My life made no        sound
          bb   C#5    G#5    C#5
I fear your eyes clo - sing

C#5           C#5
Revolting man
           bb                  G#5
This sacred chain  |  Brought down to 
C#5                      C#5
trial  |  No better man could fail the way
           bb                  G#5
You needed all  |  Keep close the vein of empty Thoughts
    F#5   G#5   bb   C#5       C#5         G#5
The fi - nest ri - ver, The ravens tend
        F#5   G#5   bb    C#5         C#5        G#5
All a - long in - sis - ting We're worlds away

   F#5
So why then
         C#5   bb   G#5  ( C#5 )  F#5 
Has all my life made no        sound
           bb   C#5    G#5  ( C#5 )  F#5
And are your eyes Clo - sing even now
   C#5   bb   G#5  ( C#5 )  F#5 
My life made no        sound
          bb   C#5    G#5    C#5
I fear your eyes clo - sing
