Intro: E Ab A E B A

E                        Ab
I've been sleeping without memory
Ab                  
I think I'll lie a little longer
A                           E
Wait for the crowds to go
                 B            A            
Maybe I'll die in this unholy mass
                    E
And I'll be free
E                               Ab
Yes that's what they say that I would be
Ab
When we came to watch the world be over
                                   A
But there's too many fools
                               E
On this boat that made
     B                            A
I can hardly see the water

Chorus:
B
What's happened to me
              A
I was down on my knees
A
I was praying to leave
       E                             B
But I never know when I've gone too far
B
This disaster in me
             A
What a beautiful dream
A
That told me I'd be cleaner
E                     B
Told me I'd be closer to God

Interlude: 
A E Ab A 

E
Oh, the birds of paradise
                       Ab
Came to me yesterday
Ab
Laughed when they told me my fate
                A                                     E
We'd be cold, we'd be tired, but we could breathe
                                B             A
And one day I'm gonna leave this place

Repeat Chorus

End: 
A  E  Ab  A  E  Ab  A  F#  E
